AI in GP training is no longer just "AI Q-banks." In 2026, AI tools span the entire trainee workflow — from exam revision to portfolio reflection to clinical decision support to consultation documentation. Most trainees use one or two tools without realising the full landscape available.
Exam Revision AI
MedTutor AI. Voice-based AI patient simulations for SCA preparation. 100 cases, 28 specialties, three-domain feedback. 750+ users.
SCA Prep. AI-generated SCA cases, guidelines-trained AI tutor, AI patient roleplays with RCGP-criteria marking, WhatsApp revision bot.
iatroX. AI-adaptive quiz engine with spaced repetition for AKT/MRCP/PLAB. Performance-based question selection targeting your weakest areas automatically. Study planner generates personalised daily revision schedules.
Portfolio and Reflection AI
Learner+ (CMEfy). Purpose-built AI reflection scaffolding with FourteenFish integration. Piloted with 24 GP trainees — 90.5% would recommend. RCGP curriculum-aligned prompts.
iatroX CPD module. Maps learning activities to professional domains with AI-assisted reflection scaffolding.
ChatGPT (with caveats). Over 60% of GP trainees already use it for reflections. Risks: no FourteenFish integration, no curriculum alignment, IG concerns with patient data, generic output. Purpose-built tools are safer and more relevant.
Clinical Decision Support
Ask iatroX. NICE/CKS/BNF-grounded clinical AI with citation-first answers. MHRA-registered medical device.
GPnotebook. 30,000+ pages of clinical reference. Not AI-powered but comprehensive.
Heidi Evidence / Ask Heidi. Clinical guideline surfacing within the Heidi scribe platform.
AMBOSS. Global medical library with integrated Q-bank. Stronger in hospital medicine than UK primary care.
Documentation AI
Heidi Health. Free tier ambient scribe. EMIS/SystmOne integration. Portable between practices. Heidi Remote hardware.
Accurx Scribe. Embedded in 98% of GP practices. SNOMED-coded notes with direct EHR write-back.
Tortus AI. 3,500+ practices via X-on Health. MHRA Class I registered. Surgery Intellect platform. Referral letter drafting.
The IG Framework
Not all AI tools are safe for patient data. MHRA-registered tools (iatroX, Tortus) and DTAC-compliant tools (Heidi, Accurx, Tortus) have documented clinical safety and data governance. General-purpose LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini) are not medical devices and have no clinical data assurances. Use purpose-built, governance-compliant tools for any interaction involving clinical data.
Where iatroX Fits
iatroX spans three of the four categories — revision, portfolio, and clinical decision support — in a single free platform. It is the only tool designed to cover the full GP trainee learning workflow, from adaptive exam preparation to daily clinical reference to CPD documentation.
