Inside the Algorithm debuts on 6th May with an episode exploring how simulation, operational research and AI are reshaping NHS planning.
LONDON, 4th May 2026 - Cambridge Spark, a leading provider of data and AI education and upskilling, today announced the launch of Inside the Algorithm, a new podcast hosted by Chief AI Officer Jeremy Bradley. The show launches on 6th May and will publish fortnightly alongside Cambridge Spark's flagship podcast, Data & AI Mastery, in the same feed.
Where Data & AI Mastery explores AI transformation at the enterprise and C-suite levels, Inside the Algorithm shifts the lens into the scientific research, technical breakthroughs and academic thinking shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Each episode, Bradley sits down with leading researchers, data scientists and technical experts working at the frontier of the field to democratise access to frontier AI knowledge without diluting its intellectual integrity.
The show is designed for an informed, technically ambitious audience, including AI researchers, advanced practitioners building and deploying sophisticated AI systems, and AI leaders seeking a deeper understanding of the science driving innovation in the field.
The debut episode features Lucy Morgan, who leads the simulation team at the NHS Strategy Unit and holds a visiting research position in simulation and stochastic modelling at Lancaster University Management School. Morgan is a joint winner of the OR Society Doctoral Award 2019 and recipient of the 2025 KD Tocher Award for best paper in the Journal of Simulation.
The conversation explores how operational research, simulation and AI are being combined to address some of the NHS's most complex planning challenges and what it really takes to make an analytical model work in the real world.
Central to the discussion is Morgan's work developing a renal replacement therapy planning model, originally built with the Midlands Kidney Network, which is now being rolled out across NHS regions nationally with ambitions to become a UK-wide planning tool by 2029. The episode also examines Morgan's current research focus: model reuse and reproducibility, and specifically how AI could help standardise documentation and build the trust needed to deploy analytical models across new organisations at scale.
