For decades, the NHS has struggled with fragmented systems that make simple tasks feel impossible.

At Accurx, we’re changing that by building a single, system-wide platform that helps every patient get gold-standard, efficient, and joined-up care. What started as a way for GPs to text a patient has now evolved into an all-in-one digital toolkit used by 98% of GP practices. Our platform now powers Total Triage https://www.accurx.com/primary-care to manage patient demand, and Self-Book, https://www.accurx.com/booking which lets patients schedule their own appointments in seconds.

We’ve automated routine care with Patient Questionnaires https://www.accurx.com/questionnaires for long-term conditions, while Accumail https://www.accurx.com/accumail finally allows staff-to-staff communication to happen instantly across different care settings. We’re now pushing the boundaries of the consultation itself with Accurx Scribe https://www.accurx.com/scribe, our AI-powered note-taker that drafts medical notes in real-time.

We’re not just shipping features. We’re giving clinicians their time back and ensuring every patient journey is as smooth as it should be.
