The most common reasons accredited pharmacists move from MR Assist to Nexshift.
At 20 HMRs/month, MR Assist costs $440 inc GST. Nexshift Starter is $49/month. That is over $390 saved every month — or more than $4,600 per year.
Nexshift reads your GP referral PDF, extracts patient and medication data, analyses drugs against the AMH, transcribes your consultation voice notes, and drafts the full report — automatically.
The structured 6-domain visit form guides you through every clinical domain in order. Voice recording captures notes hands-free so you can focus on the patient, not the keyboard.
All patient data is stored in Sydney (AWS ap-southeast-2) under the Privacy Act 1988. Your patients' clinical records never leave Australia.
Nexshift includes a built-in digital consent flow with signature capture and automatic PDF generation — stored securely against the referral record.
From referral receipt to GP report delivery, every step of the HMR process lives in one platform — scheduling, visit, medications, consent, report, and email delivery.
7-day free trial. No credit card required. Full Starter features from day one.
