What does Accurx Scribe do?
Accurx Scribe, powered by Tandem, uses AI to transcribe audio from a patient consultation, dictation or meeting, and to summarise it into a structured form for medical notes. Clinicians can also generate other documents from the encounter, such as patient letters or referral letters. After reviewing and editing these, clinicians can save their notes to the patient record and share documents with patients and other services.
Accurx Scribe is available via Accurx Desktop, Accurx Web and Accurx Mobile.
Does Accurx Scribe save to the medical record?
Yes, for those using EMIS and SystmOne with Accurx Desktop. Once you’ve reviewed and edited your Scribe summary, you can save it to the patient’s record. If your note includes certain key observations (e.g. height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, temperature and peak expiratory flow rate) these save to the record as SNOMED codes. For full details, see our article here. You can always edit your note and add/edit coding in EMIS and SystmOne after saving to the record.
How much does it cost?
GP practices that sign up before 15th July 2025 will be able to get access to Scribe for free for 3 months. The trial will start from the date that you activate Accurx Scribe.

Can Accurx Scribe make mistakes?
Accurx Scribe is powered by Tandem's AI. Whilst it's highly accurate, it can make mistakes, such as missing important information out (omissions) and confabulating incorrect information (hallucinations).
It's very important that the responsible clinician reviews, and edits if necessary, all the Accurx Scribe outputs before adding them to the medical record or sharing documents with patients or other services.
