ClinicalAssist for Nurses
AI-powered clinical decision support designed for the realities of nursing practice. From ward-based triage to community visits, ClinicalAssist helps you assess, escalate, and hand over with confidence.
How ClinicalAssist Helps Nurses
Nursing is the backbone of the NHS. Whether you are a Band 5 Registered Nurse working nights on a busy medical ward, a Band 7 Emergency Nurse Practitioner managing a minor injuries unit, or a District Nurse providing care in the community, clinical decision-making is central to everything you do. Yet the tools available to support those decisions have not kept pace with the complexity of modern nursing practice.
ClinicalAssist is built specifically for how nurses work. It understands that you may not have prescribing authority but still need to recognise when a patient requires urgent medical review. It knows that your role often involves being the first to spot deterioration, and that a clear, structured handover can make the difference between a timely intervention and a missed opportunity.
The tool adapts to your nursing role automatically. When you log in as a Registered Nurse, ClinicalAssist adjusts its interface to show the features most relevant to your scope of practice - prioritising assessment tools, scoring calculators, escalation guidance, and safety netting over prescribing panels that would not be applicable. If you are a non-medical prescriber, you can select the appropriate role to unlock prescribing support as well.
Every recommendation ClinicalAssist provides is aligned with UK clinical guidelines, including NICE pathways, the Sepsis Trust protocols, and the Royal College of Physicians NEWS2 framework. This is not a generic American clinical reference tool hastily adapted for the UK market - it is designed from the ground up for NHS practice, using British National Formulary references, NHS organisational terminology, and the clinical pathways you actually follow.
Roles Covered
Key Features for Nurses
Purpose-built tools that support nursing assessment, escalation, and handover workflows.
NEWS2 Calculator
Rapid National Early Warning Score 2 calculation with automatic escalation triggers. Enter physiological parameters and receive an instant aggregate score with colour-coded clinical response recommendations aligned to the Royal College of Physicians framework.
Sepsis Screening (qSOFA)
Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment at the bedside. ClinicalAssist flags sepsis risk early using qSOFA criteria - altered mentation, respiratory rate, and systolic blood pressure - helping you escalate before the patient deteriorates.
Safety Netting & Red Flags
Never miss a critical sign. ClinicalAssist highlights red flag symptoms and safety netting advice specific to the presenting complaint, ensuring you know exactly when to escalate and what to communicate to the patient or their carer.
Structured SBAR Handover
Generate a structured Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation handover summary from your assessment data. Export as PDF for documentation or use it directly when calling the medical team for review.
Clinical Scenarios
See how ClinicalAssist supports nursing decision-making across different clinical settings.
Acute Deterioration on the Ward
A patient on your medical ward has become increasingly confused with a rising respiratory rate. You enter the observations into ClinicalAssist, which calculates a NEWS2 score of 7, triggers a sepsis screen, and generates an SBAR handover for the on-call registrar - all within two minutes.
Emergency Department Triage
As an Emergency Nurse Practitioner, you are triaging a patient presenting with chest pain. ClinicalAssist helps you systematically assess the presentation, generates a differential diagnosis prioritised by urgency, and recommends initial investigations to request before the doctor reviews.
Community Nursing Visit
During a home visit, your patient with COPD reports worsening breathlessness. Using ClinicalAssist on your mobile, you assess the clinical picture, calculate a NEWS2 score, and determine whether the patient needs hospital admission or can be managed safely at home with an updated care plan.
