Evrella, the AI assistant, smiles as she takes a call at a GP surgery reception, with the waiting room and a consulting room behind her.

The AI receptionist for UK GP surgeries

Evrella, the AI client services assistant, answers your practice’s website chat, WhatsApp and phone when the lines are busy or the doors are shut. She explains how to request an appointment, order a repeat prescription or register, takes messages and call-back requests for the team, books flu and vaccination clinics in her own calendar, and sends anyone describing an emergency to 999. She never gives medical advice and never triages.

What we can show

  • In November 2025, 11.9% of the 29.4 million calls to GP practices in England ended while the caller was still waiting, and 7.6% were handled with a call-back request.

    NHS England, Cloud-based telephony data in general practice, November 2025

What goes unanswered today

  • The 8am phone queue

    Patients ring the moment the lines open, and reception spends the first hours of the day answering the same calls in the same order. Many of those callers only need to know how to use your online form or the NHS App.

  • Routine questions crowd out the patients who need a person

    How do I order my prescription? Are my results back? Can I register? Each one takes a receptionist away from the patient at the desk or the caller who really needs them.

  • Emergencies have to be recognised in the first sentence

    Chest pain, difficulty breathing or signs of a stroke mean 999, not an appointment request. That message has to be given the same clear way on the busiest Monday as at 6:25pm on a Friday.

  • Out of hours, patients still need the right route

    When the surgery is closed, patients need to hear NHS 111 for urgent help and 999 for an emergency, and to know that they can still send a non-urgent request for the team to pick up.

  • Extra reception cover is expensive

    Twenty more hours a week at the desk is a real salary, with National Insurance and a pension on top, and the cover still ends when the surgery closes.

  • Flu and vaccination clinics fill the phones

    Every autumn the same calls arrive: when is the clinic, who is it for, can I have a slot. Evrella answers from your pages and books the slots in the calendar she keeps with Google Calendar, never in your clinical system.

How a conversation goes

Short examples written for this page, not recordings of real callers.

Chest pain, mid-morning

Caller
My dad has had a crushing pain in his chest for 20 minutes and he’s sweaty. Can I get him an appointment today?
Evrella
Please call 999 now. Chest pain, pressure, heaviness, tightness or squeezing across the chest can be a sign of a heart attack.

A repeat prescription

Caller
How do I order my repeat prescription, and how long does it take?
Evrella
The quickest way is the NHS App: Prescriptions, then Order a repeat prescription. Please allow 3 working days for us to process it, plus time for your pharmacy to prepare it, so order when you have about 7 days of medicine left.

New to the area

Caller
I’ve just moved to the area. Can I register with you?
Evrella
Yes, if you live in our practice area. You don’t need proof of address, ID or an NHS number. Register online through our website or the NHS App, or come to reception if you can’t use the online system and we’ll help you complete it.
Caller
How long does it take?
Evrella
We aim to complete your registration within 2 working days.

For an NHS practice: a compliance conversation first

Before an AI answers an NHS practice’s patients, the practice’s integrated care board will expect a compliance pack: the Digital Technology Assessment Criteria (DTAC), the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, a DCB0129 clinical safety case signed by a Clinical Safety Officer, a data protection impact assessment, Cyber Essentials and a penetration test, alongside the practice’s own DCB0160 work.

Evrella does not have that pack yet. It is an Enterprise project, built when enough practices in a primary care network want it, so an NHS practice starts with a conversation rather than a sign-up. A private GP practice can try her now, free.

How it works

  1. 01

    She reads your business

    Your website and the documents you give her are what she answers from.

  2. 02

    She answers every channel

    Your website chat, WhatsApp and your phone line, day and night.

  3. 03

    You see every conversation

    Each one is in your console, with the details she took and a summary.

Works alongside

Only what Evrella really does with each of these.

  • Your practice website

    She answers in your website’s chat from the pages you publish, and gives patients the links you already list: your online consultation form, the NHS App and how to register.

  • Your practice telephony

    It stays as it is. You choose which calls reach her, such as the calls when every line is busy or out of hours, by sending them to a number of her own. She can put a caller through to the team when your rules say so.

Compliance

GP practices in England are registered with the Care Quality Commission, and GPs are regulated by the General Medical Council. Evrella answers from what your surgery publishes: how to request an appointment, order a repeat prescription, register or get test results, and your opening hours. She does not triage, does not decide who needs to be seen, and gives no medical advice. When someone describes an emergency, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, she tells them to call 999; outside your hours she points to NHS 111. A clinician still reviews every request through your own system, and your framework telephony stays as it is: your number is never moved away from it. Health IT used in NHS care in England is subject to clinical risk management standards, so talk to your clinical safety lead before you switch her on. Patient details are health data under UK GDPR: they are stored in the UK on AWS in London, answers are generated in the UK or the EU, nothing is used to train AI models, and a Data Processing Agreement comes with every plan.

What she never says

  • Medical advice: what a symptom means, what to take, or whether someone needs to be seen
  • That a symptom is “probably nothing”
  • That someone is registered with the surgery, to anyone but that patient
  • Test results, or anything from a patient’s record
  • That an appointment is booked in your clinical system: she books nothing into it
  • Anything but 999 to someone describing an emergency
  • An urgency grade, or which condition a symptom matches: she does not triage
  • That there is no way to reach a person: your non-automated route is always offered
  • “Call back tomorrow”

Questions

  • Does she triage patients or decide who gets an appointment?

    No. She explains how to send a request, through your online form, the NHS App or reception, and your clinicians review every request as they do now. She never decides who needs to be seen or how soon.

  • What does she say to someone describing an emergency?

    To call 999, straight away. In the demo, a caller describing crushing chest pain and sweating is told to call 999 now, before anything else. Outside your opening hours she points to NHS 111 for urgent help that is not an emergency.

  • Can she tell patients their test results?

    No. She can tell patients how your surgery shares results, for example in the NHS App or by calling after a set time, but she never sees a patient’s record and never gives a result.

  • Does Evrella connect to EMIS Web or SystmOne?

    No, and we don’t claim to. She never books into or reads from your clinical system. She points patients to the online form and NHS App links your surgery already publishes, and anything she takes reaches your team by email and waits in your console.

  • Can she help patients order repeat prescriptions?

    She explains how, in the words your surgery uses: in the demo, the NHS App, with 3 working days to process and a reminder to order with about a week of medicine left. The order itself goes through your usual route.

  • What does she tell someone who wants to register?

    What your pages say. At Willowbrook, the demo surgery, anyone in the practice area can register online, through the NHS App or at reception, without proof of address, ID or an NHS number, and registration takes up to 2 working days.

  • Do callers know the surgery’s receptionist is an AI?

    Yes. On the phone she says at the start of every call that she is an AI assistant and that the call is transcribed, and recorded too if you switch call recording on. In the chat she tells patients the same.

  • Where is patient information kept?

    Stored in the UK, on AWS in London. Answers are generated in the UK or the EU, so what a patient types may be processed in the EU. Nothing is used to train AI models, every conversation is in your console for your team to read, and a Data Processing Agreement comes with every plan.

  • What will our ICB ask for before an NHS practice uses Evrella?

    Expect the DTAC, the Data Security and Protection Toolkit, a DCB0129 clinical safety case signed by a Clinical Safety Officer, a data protection impact assessment, Cyber Essentials and a penetration test. Evrella does not have that pack yet: it is an Enterprise project, so talk to us before you plan to switch her on.

  • Can she book our flu and vaccination clinics?

    Yes, in the calendar she keeps with Google Calendar, from the clinic times you publish. She never books into your clinical system, so your team records each appointment there as it does now.
