~90s Average Consultation

Full pathway in under two minutes

The AI that consults your patients. Unsupervised.

Hand a patient an iPad. Deterministic clinical AI — built on Google's MedGemma and structured prompt engineering — runs the full NHS Pharmacy First consultation autonomously, no pharmacist present. One report follows: gateway outcome, PGD determination, full transcript, step-by-step clinical reasoning.

How it works

AI consults. Pharmacist signs off.

pharmacy1st.ai runs the full Pharmacy First consultation — screening, scoring, red flags and PGD supply — leaving a traceable report for review.

  • Step 01

    Patient is handed a device

    A patient presents at the pharmacy with a Pharmacy First eligible condition. A staff member hands them an iPad or any web-enabled device running pharmacy1st.ai. No pharmacist involvement needed at this stage — the AI takes it from here.

  • Step 02

    AI conducts the full consultation — alone

    The patient interacts directly with the AI. The clinical engine runs on a proprietary deterministic logic architecture — not a black-box language model — layered over Google's MedGemma foundation model and driven by structured clinical prompts. It executes the complete Pharmacy First pathway: gateway screening, validated clinical scoring, red flag detection, and PGD exclusion logic.

  • Step 03

    Pharmacist receives the finished report

    Once the consultation ends, the pharmacist receives a complete report: gateway outcome, medication recommendation determined through PGD exclusion logic, full Q&A transcript, deterministic reasoning at every decision point, and a SNOMED CT-coded clinical summary — ready for PharmOutcomes or Sonar submission.

1. Interview the patient

Conduct the structured clinical interview from scratch — history, symptoms, duration, red flags.

2. Run pathway scoring

Apply FeverPAIN, PATSS, or pathway-specific scoring tools by hand or in the PMR.

3. Check PGD exclusions

Work through contraindications, drug interactions, age and weight thresholds one by one.

4. Decide the supply outcome

Select medication, dose, and duration — cross-referenced against formulary and guidance.

5. Write the consultation notes

Hand-type the record into PharmOutcomes or Sonar, then file against the patient.

6. Code for NHS submission

Manually apply SNOMED CT terms and dm+d codes so the claim is accepted.

“The quickest Pharmacy First workflow we’ve ever used.”

Consultations that used to take twelve minutes now close in under five, and the audit trail is cleaner than anything we built ourselves.

“Fewer clicks, more clinical time.”

The coded reports drop straight into PharmOutcomes. I claim at the end of the day without unpicking a single consultation.
