OneAdvanced deploys sovereign agentic AI across UK healthcare, government and legal sectors

Birmingham-based software firm OneAdvanced has launched its autonomous AI agents into critical UK sectors, transforming workflows with secure, localisation-focused artificial intelligence that enhances efficiency and compliance across healthcare, government, and legal services.

OneAdvanced, a Birmingham-based software company, has announced the deployment of its Agentic AI capabilities across critical sectors in the United Kingdom, including healthcare, government, and legal services. This initiative marks a transition from AI pilot projects to live operational deployment, embedding autonomous AI agents directly within workflows to support key functions such as clinical summarisation, risk management, and workforce optimisation.

Over the last six months, the company has integrated a comprehensive suite of AI-driven agents designed to address sector-specific challenges. Notably, these include Clinical Summarisation & Coding Agents developed collaboratively with general practitioner surgeries. These agents handle extensive document processing for NHS operations, managing up to 600,000 documents daily by automatically generating clinical summaries and suggesting SNOMED codes from a vast library of 360,000 medical terms. The implementation of these technologies has already yielded measurable benefits, conservatively estimated to free up clinician capacity equivalent to 150,000 additional patient appointments per week, while enhancing accuracy and patient outcomes.

Beyond healthcare, OneAdvanced’s AI agents support governance and compliance through its Risk Assist function, and workforce optimisation via Clocking & Shift Assignment Agents, which significantly improve scheduling and deployment efficiency in regulated sectors. The company emphasises that these AI tools democratise access to advanced technologies previously limited to global enterprises, now available to mid-sized and public sector organisations. This broad adoption spans key customers like the NHS, the British government, and major UK law firms, illustrating the growing appetite for embedded AI solutions.

A defining feature of OneAdvanced’s approach is the agentic nature of its AI systems, which autonomously set their operational steps, adapt dynamically to new information, and pursue specified outcomes with minimal human input—all while maintaining auditability and keeping humans informed throughout. Amanda Grant, Chief Product Officer at OneAdvanced, highlighted the significance of this rollout in the UK context: “In just 12 months, we have developed and deployed the UK’s first sovereign AI platform, with agents already transforming frontline operations for thousands of mission-critical organisations across UK communities.”

The agentic AI agents operate on a sovereign large language model (LLM) developed and hosted exclusively within the UK in partnership with national stakeholders. This localisation strategy aims to reinforce compliance with UK data protection laws, ensuring that sensitive information remains within national borders under stringent oversight. OneAdvanced asserts that this infrastructure enhances security, transparency, and auditability compared to global cloud-based offerings.

In the legal sector, OneAdvanced’s AI deployment aligns with broader trends where AI is radically transforming workflows. Legal firms increasingly utilise AI for complex, multi-step reasoning tasks including antitrust filing analysis, cybersecurity review, fund formation, and loan document scrutiny. Leading UK firms such as A&O Shearman and Harvey are already adopting agentic AI to integrate deep legal expertise into these automated processes, breaking down intricate legal issues into actionable, transparent plans. According to industry reports, the legal AI agent market is projected to grow significantly, from £1.2 billion to £3.5 billion by 2028, as firms seek predictive intelligence tools that improve case outcome predictions and strategic decision-making.

Despite a traditionally cautious stance towards AI adoption, research from OneAdvanced indicates that nearly 60% of British law firms plan to increase investment in technology solutions in 2025 to boost productivity and profitability. This momentum reflects a wider digital transformation trend within the legal sector, with AI playing a central role in automating document drafting, research, risk identification, and client communication, thus freeing legal professionals to focus on higher-value strategic work.

Alongside customer-facing AI solutions, OneAdvanced has invested heavily in its own internal software engineering capabilities. Its teams leverage Co-Pilot Code Assist and emerging code generation agents to accelerate development cycles while maintaining quality. The company also runs a SkillsHub initiative aimed at upskilling technical staff, positioning itself strategically to contribute to the UK’s ambition to become a global AI innovation hub. Andrew Henderson, Chief Technology Officer, expressed confidence in OneAdvanced’s role amid increasing foreign investments in UK technology: “We believe we have the credentials and confidence to play a meaningful role in ensuring the UK cements its role as a global hub for AI innovation.”

OneAdvanced’s deployment of agentic AI represents a significant step in integrating advanced, sovereign AI technologies into core public and private sector workflows. By embedding intelligent automation designed for transparency and compliance, the company aims to deliver not only operational efficiencies but also genuine improvements in service outcomes across healthcare, government, and legal sectors.
