Accurx news and insights

Dr Faris Al-Ramadani is a GP Partner at St Wulfstan Surgery, one of the highest-rated practices in England and winner of the 2024 HSJ Primary Care Provider of the Year award. In this blog, Faris shares how the use of an AI Scribe, powered by Tandem, has changed his day-to-day consulting – giving him the breathing room to listen more closely, write less, and practice medicine in the way he was trained to.

Mounjaro hit the headlines this week, and many practices are already seeing a surge in patient queries. In this blog, members of the Accurx community share how they’re managing the demand, setting expectations, and protecting practice capacity.

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.

In our previous blog, 'Outpatients: the case for change', we introduced The Clean Clinic Model for outpatients, which we believe will release up to 20% outpatient capacity by moving away from an appointment-first model. In this blog, we practically explain how the model can be delivered.

The elective waiting list in England has more than tripled since 2010, currently sitting at 7.5 million. We believe that the way care is delivered must change if we are to have a chance of getting on top of the backlog, and reforming outpatients is a major lever that can be pulled. In this blog, we introduce our Clean Clinic Model for outpatient transformation.

Bold measures need to be taken to transform how outpatient care is delivered. The Elective Recovery Plan calls this out - with a focus on reducing unneccessary, in-person appointments that can be carried out via a virtual model. A recent pilot of this approach at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust resulted in a 35% increase in patients seen in their Trauma & Orthopedic service.
