What it does

How Agent IA Vocal helps.

Routine appointment booking

Patients can book, reschedule, or cancel routine appointments directly, syncing with your clinical system in real time. No double-bookings, no hold times.

Repeat prescription requests

The AI captures medication name, dose, and GP name, then logs the request directly into your workflow — reducing admin burden on reception staff.

NHS overflow call handling

When all lines are busy, every caller still reaches a professional response. No engaged tone, no voicemail, no lost patient.

Out-of-hours information

Patients calling after hours receive the correct 111 and emergency information automatically, reducing inappropriate demands on duty staff.

Test results enquiries

The AI takes a message and routes it to the correct clinician, with full transcript — reducing the volume of callbacks required from doctors.

New patient registration

Capture new patient details, confirm eligibility criteria, and book a registration appointment — all without reception involvement.
