This guidance offers high-level information to assist those adopting ambient scribing products that feature Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), for use across health and care settings in England. These products are sometimes referred to as ambient scribes or AI scribes and include advanced ambient voice technologies (AVTs) used for clinical or patient documentation and workflow support. The guidance is intended for settings aiming to implement a specific product or function of an existing product. It is not meant for individuals seeking to use tools outside the supervision of their setting, such as through unauthorised applications.
