During the month of December (2025), the Westgate Practice would like to notify patients that some of our doctors will be trialling new technology in practice called AI scribe. When visiting the practice, your GP may ask if you are happy to pilot a new piece of technology during your consultation.
The scribe acts as an electronic notetaker and assists the GP by writing up their notes. This will mean they can focus more on speaking to you and less time on the computer typing. Your GP will then review these notes before saving them to your medical record. All decisions made about your care are made by your doctors.
If you would prefer for this technology not to be used during your consultation, then please let the GP know.
We understand that patients may have further questions, so please find some more information via Accurx scribe (PDF).
