We are excited to announce that we have partnered with Tandem Health to launch a new Accurx feature: Accurx Scribe, for over 200,000 NHS staff across the NHS. Accurx Scribe is built upon Tandem’s AI scribe, cutting admin time, putting the focus on patients, and enabling faster, connected care across the NHS.
Announced at our annual conference for primary care staff in April - Accurx Connects - the initial launch will see Accurx Scribe rolled out to the 98% of GP practices already using Accurx, with the ability to write back to EMIS and SystmOne. Over the coming weeks and months, over 200,000 existing users in GP practices, hospital, community and mental health settings will be able to use Accurx Scribe through Accurx’s desktop, web, and mobile applications.
As well as transcribing, summarising, and coding patient consultations into the clinical record, Accurx Scribe generates referral letters and Advice and Guidance requests, saving clinicians hours each week on documentation. Accurx Scribe also drafts appointment summaries and follow-up messages that clinicians can send directly to patients, or other care providers such as a patient’s GP.
Jacob Haddad, CEO and co-founder of Accurx, said: “NHS staff are spending nearly a third of their day on admin, and they’re being let down by inefficient ways to communicate. This delays patient care and leaves staff frustrated and burnt out. We want to liberate them from that, whilst driving huge productivity gains, at pace. We met with a wide range of potential partners, but immediately found vast common ground between our two organisations. Tandem places a similarly high focus on meeting user needs, clinical safety, and simplicity.”
Lukas Saari, CEO & co-founder of Tandem Health, said: “Today, healthcare costs are rising every year and there are widespread shortages of clinicians - issues that are being worsened by our ageing population. If nothing is significantly improved, we will not be able to maintain current healthcare standards. With novel technologies such as our AI scribe, this can now be solved, enabling clinicians to focus on care instead of on admin. From our first interaction with Accurx we’ve been impressed by their passion for improving healthcare and the loyalty of their users. We are looking forward to partnering to bring our AI scribe technology to clinicians across the NHS.”
Nadeem Ahmed, GP at Melrose Surgery, said: "This product has been revolutionary for me. It saves me 45–60 minutes per clinical session—that amounts to 35–40% efficiency. I am more relaxed during my consultations, better engaged with patients, maintaining good eye contact, and more receptive to their non-verbal as well as verbal cues. I am more satisfied with the quality of my consultations, and patients also seem to appreciate that extra attention and engagement from me. I am able to go home on time and it’s helped improve my work-life balance."
Accurx Scribe is clinically safe, fully compliant with NHS standards, and built with the highest data security protocols to protect patient data.
