On 3rd October, Redmoor Health hosted a GPT Hackathon in Leeds, gathering GPs and innovators from across Primary Care. The goal? To explore how AI, specifically GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers), can tackle real-world healthcare challenges.
From streamlining patient communication to automating compliance, the day was about bringing AI to the heart of Primary Care and seeing how it could make an impact.
GPTs are powerful AI models that generate human-like text by processing vast amounts of data. In healthcare, they have the potential to transform how clinicians work, making processes faster, easier, and more efficient. This hackathon was part of Redmoor Health’s ongoing exploration of AI in healthcare, following recent events focused on:
Presentations: Laying the Groundwork
The day kicked off with two presentations that set the tone for the rest of the event.
Keith Grimes led with a deep dive into how Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in healthcare. He explained the progress of LLMs, how they work, and provided real-world examples of their use in Primary Care. His insights helped everyone understand the real potential of these models.
Next up were Lee Valentine and Chris Bush from Nexer, who explored how AI can be a force for inclusivity.
They highlighted examples of how LLMs are being used to simplify complex documentation for people with learning difficulties and how speech transcription tools are enhancing communication for those who are hard of hearing. It was a great reminder that AI can—and should—be designed to benefit everyone.
Building GPTs: Innovation in Action
With the groundwork laid, it was time for the participants to take the stage. Ideas were pitched, teams were formed, and the focus shifted to creating actionable solutions using GPT technology. Over the course of the day, five teams worked on developing GPTs tailored to Primary Care, each addressing a unique challenge.
Here’s a breakdown of the solutions developed:
TEAM 1
Working With You on YOUR Health
Concept: A GPT that helps patients track their activity levels, providing clinicians with a summary that includes a Rockwood Frailty Score for better health assessment.
Team Members: Dustyn Saint, Lottie Butcher, Jools E Symons, Ayad Marhoon, Ashbal Chaudhary, Stuart Berry, Stacey Thompson

TEAM 2
Inclusive Communications – Meditext Buddy
Concept: This GPT translates complex medical advice into clear, concise, and NHS-compliant SMS texts, making healthcare information easier for patients to understand.
Team Members: Chris Nortcliff, Jack Jackson, Chris Markwick, Ben Kent, Jamie Ridealgh, Lee Valentine, Chris Bush

TEAM 3
Compliance Officer
Concept: A GPT that automates the review of regulatory compliance (e.g. DCB 2019), offering an efficient alternative to hiring compliance experts.
Team Members: Farhan Amin, Arunpirasath Nadarasa, Sheikh Mateen Ellahi, Elizabeth Dobson, Thom Hunyh
GPT Link: Due to OpenAI’s policies, this GPT cannot be shared. For more details, contact us via the Digital & Transformation Network.
TEAM 4
Education & Training for Frailty Resources
Concept: A GPT providing educational resources and lesson plans focused on frailty care, aligned with national and local guidelines.
Team Members: Andrew Noble, Amar Patel, Clare Temple
GPT Link: TBC
TEAM 5
GP Oracle
Concept: This GPT captures institutional knowledge from practice team chats, offering localised advice to new GPs on tasks such as referrals and prescribing, making onboarding smoother.
Team Members: Carmelo Insalaco, Amar Ahmed, James Rowe, Abhinav Nair
GPT Link: TBC
The Winning GPT
After all the presentations, the teams voted on the best solution based on its relevance, impact, and practicality.
Congratulations to the GP Oracle team!
Their innovative solution stood out for its practical application and potential to simplify how practices share key information with new clinicians. Amar Ahmed, GP and Partner at Willmslow Health Centre, commented “Over 90 minutes our team created the rudimentary beginnings of GP Oracle. We fed it the MS Teams Chat from our Clinicale Huddle group at work. It contains all the juicy local nuggets of wisdom relating to various services we can access for out patients. We pointed it to the the local prescribing and referring policies also. Most of the time was spent placing guardrails to ensure that the results the GPT gave only related to the particular data sets we wanted it to look at. The result was an oracle that was easily accessible by all our team and which gave our team an easily interrogable source of local wisdom regarding patient services.”
Final Thoughts
The GPT Hackathon gave us a glimpse into how AI can fundamentally change the way healthcare operates, especially in Primary Care. The ideas and solutions developed during the event weren’t just about automating tasks—they were about making healthcare smarter, more accessible, and more efficient.
What made the day stand out was the collaboration. By bringing together GPs, tech experts, and innovators, we saw firsthand how combining clinical expertise with advanced AI technology can lead to real, impactful solutions. The GPTs developed in just one day showed us how quickly AI can go from concept to reality, solving problems that healthcare professionals face every day.
But this event was just the beginning. The GPTs created during the hackathon showed that AI is ready to make a difference in Primary Care. Whether it’s improving patient communication, automating compliance, or helping clinicians access local knowledge faster, the possibilities are immense.
At Redmoor Health, we’re excited to continue working with Primary Care organisations to bring AI solutions to life.
We’d love to hear your feedback, comments, or any new ideas you have around GPTs. Please get in touch via the D&T Network Community Forum to continue the conversation and explore how we can push AI innovation in Primary Care even further. Let’s keep the dialogue going!
