Research Context & Problem Healthcare is entering a new phase of digital transformation, where AI is evolving beyond decision-support tools into increasingly autonomous agentic systems that generate recommendations, prioritise actions, and shape clinical workflows. While these technologies promise gains in efficiency and accuracy, far less is known about how they reconfigure the cognitive and emotional demands of clinical work. This PhD project investigates how collaboration with agentic AI may alter clinician reasoning, cognitive load, emotional regulation, trust, and professional agency, with implications for workforce sustainability and safe, high-quality care. This project focuses on the human consequences of AI adoption in high-stakes environments, examining the cognitive, behavioural and organisational implications of human–AI collaboration. The Research Opportunity & Development This interdisciplinary project sits at the intersection of healthcare operations, work...
