The problem

Clinicians are losing minutes every time they look up guidance.

NHS clinicians routinely spend 2-5 minutes navigating PDFs, long webpages and complex guideline structures during time-pressured consultations. Manual NICE searches slow patient flow, increase cognitive load and contribute to variability in practice.

With workforce pressure at an all-time high, this overhead is no longer sustainable.

Guideline traffic

Clinical time lost across the NHS each year.

The solution

AskNicelyAI connects directly to NICE and delivers structured answers in seconds.

AskNicelyAI connects to NICE via a secure API and returns instant, structured, evidence-based answers tailored to your clinical question.

Every response comes exclusively from NICE guidelines. There are no external sources and no speculative content, which removes mixed-source risk and supports safer, more consistent care.

Future releases will integrate CKS, Royal College guidance and local NHS Trust policies, creating a single, unified source of truth across services.
