Technology in General Practice

Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering primary care, from AI scribes and documentation tools to RAG-based medical knowledge systems and workflow automation.

But in healthcare, impressive technology is not enough. Tools must be safe, clinically useful, and designed to support doctors — not replace them.

This hub brings together articles exploring how technology is shaping general practice, including:

  • AI scribes and consultation documentation
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in medical knowledge
  • Vector databases for clinical information retrieval
  • Automation of chronic disease workflows
  • Privacy, safety, and governance considerations

Below you'll find guides and articles exploring these technologies and how they can be used responsibly in general practice.
