Your practice almost certainly uses Accurx — 98% of UK GP practices do. If Scribe is enabled, you have access to an ambient scribe without any personal subscription or setup.

Access

Ask your practice manager whether Accurx Scribe is enabled. If yes, the feature appears within the Accurx platform you already use for patient messaging and triage. No separate login, no app download, no account creation.

Workflow

Start consultation → Accurx Scribe records ambient audio → AI generates structured note with SNOMED codes → you review the draft → edit as needed → approve → note inserted directly into EMIS/SystmOne.

The critical step: always review before approving. AI-generated notes are drafts — they may miss nuance, misattribute symptoms, or generate incorrect codes. Your clinical judgement is the final quality gate.

Learning Opportunity

Compare AI-generated notes to what you would have written. The differences teach you about documentation quality — what the AI captures well (factual content, medication lists) and what it misses (clinical reasoning, safety-netting specifics, subtle patient concerns). This comparison is itself a learning activity worth reflecting on.

Integration Features

Scribe links to the patient's triage thread if they came through Accurx triage — creating a unified record from initial contact through consultation. SNOMED coding reduces manual coding burden. Direct EHR write-back eliminates copy-paste.

Limitations

Practice-level feature — if you rotate to a different practice without Scribe enabled, you lose access. For portable scribing across rotations, Heidi's free tier is the alternative.
