How does it work? It’s a bit like going ‘hands free’!
Like the outdated Dictaphones, GP’s can focus on YOU instead of typing on the computer! The scribe records the conversation and creates notes for the GP. The GP copies the notes into the file, like all other regular appointments.
Do you store recordings? No.
Consultations are transcribed simultaneously while they happen, which means nothing is ever stored. In fact, the recording does not even have your personal details, because it’s ONLY a recording.
Do I have to give consent? Yes & No!
No – you NEVER have to agree to using the scribe. You can say “yes” one time, and “no” another time.
Yes – if you decide to agree to use it, you MUST say yes. The GP will record your consent.
