Senior Privacy & Information Governance Manager – Tech for Good Movement
About Accurx
Accurx is solving healthcare productivity for the NHS. For decades, the NHS has struggled with fragmented systems that make simple tasks feel impossible. At Accurx, we’re changing that by building a single, system-wide platform that helps every patient get gold-standard, efficient, and joined-up care.
What started as a way for GPs to text a patient has now evolved into an all-in-one digital toolkit used by 98% of GP practices. Our platform powers:
- Total Triage: Managing patient demand
- Self-Book: Letting patients schedule appointments in seconds
- Patient Questionnaires: Automating routine care for long-term conditions
- Accumail: Enabling instant staff-to-staff communication across sectors
- Accurx Scribe: An AI-powered note-taker that drafts medical notes in real-time
We’re not just shipping features—we’re giving clinicians their time back and ensuring every patient journey is seamless.
