Demand & appointment management

Absorbing the repetitive, high-volume transactions — prescriptions, booking, cancellations, reminders — that consume staff time and drive missed appointments.

Use case 2

Prescription & repeat-medication requests

The pain point

Medication queries are one of three demand types the 2025/26 GP contract requires practices to handle online through core hours — and volumes are large: online consultation submissions peaked at 9.6 million in a single month, with 74% of practices reporting increased workload from the shift.2

Impact — organisation

Skilled staff spend time transcribing routine requests; errors and rework occur under load.

Impact — customer / client

Requests queue; patients chase status; delays cause anxiety over running out.

How it’s addressed

The agent captures repeat-prescription requests through a structured script, confirms identity per practice policy, and logs the request into the correct workflow for a clinician or pharmacist to action — it makes no clinical authorisation.

The benefits
Organisation

Routine capture handled at scale; staff focus on the clinical sign-off, not the admin around it.

Customer / client

A quick, confirmed submission at any hour, with a clear next step.

Use case 3

Booking, cancellation & rebooking

The pain point

NHS England estimated 16 million GP appointments were missed in 2025 — 1 in 23 — at an estimated £216 million a year.3 Congested phone lines are a documented barrier to patients cancelling slots they can't use.6

Impact — organisation

DNAs waste scarce clinical capacity; late cancellations arrive too late to refill.

Impact — customer / client

Can only call in hours; gives up trying to cancel, so the slot is lost.

How it’s addressed

The agent books, cancels and rebooks against practice availability rules around the clock, applying the practice's own eligibility and slot-type logic, and hands non-standard cases to staff.

The benefits
Organisation

Late cancellations recovered and re-offered; fewer wasted slots; 24/7 self-service.

Customer / client

Manage appointments any time, in minutes — removing the friction that drives DNAs.

Use case 7

Reminders & failed-contact outreach

The pain point

With 16 million GP appointments missed in 2025,3 timely reminders and rebooking matter — but outbound recall is labour-intensive and often skipped when staff are stretched. Two-way reminders that let patients act at the moment they realise they can't attend are shown to reduce DNAs.3

Impact — organisation

DNAs persist; recall lists slip; capacity wasted.

Impact — customer / client

Missed appointments go un-rebooked; care continuity breaks.

How it’s addressed

The agent runs outbound reminder and rebooking prompts against the practice's recall lists, offering slots and capturing responses, escalating non-responses per protocol.

The benefits
Organisation

Recall lists worked consistently; DNAs reduced through timely prompts.

Customer / client

A helpful nudge and easy rebooking.
