Prescription & repeat-medication requests
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
Skilled staff spend time transcribing routine requests; errors and rework occur under load.
Requests queue; patients chase status; delays cause anxiety over running out.
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.
Routine capture handled at scale; staff focus on the clinical sign-off, not the admin around it.
A quick, confirmed submission at any hour, with a clear next step.
