# 🏛️ NurseLex — UK Law for Nurses

**Legal literacy for mental health & learning disability nurses** — powered by the **i.AI Lex API**, a custom UK Gov **[fine-tuned embedding model](https://huggingface.co/i-dot-ai/all-miniLM-L6-v2-UKPGA-6k-finetune)**, and Google Gemini Flash.

## What It Does

NurseLex helps non-acute NHS nursing staff understand UK healthcare legislation by:

1. **Searching real UK legislation** via the i.AI Lex API (semantic search across millions of Acts and Statutory Instruments)
2. **Explaining the law in plain English** using Gemini Flash, tailored for mental health and learning disability nursing
3. **Citing the exact Act, section, and year** — zero hallucination, grounded in actual statutory text

## Key Legislation

- Mental Health Act 1983 (Sections 2, 3, 5(4), 17, 117, 135, 136)
- Mental Capacity Act 2005 (Capacity, Best Interests, DoLS)
- Care Act 2014 (Safeguarding, Assessments, Advocacy)
- Human Rights Act 1998 (Articles 5, 8)
- Equality Act 2010 (Reasonable Adjustments)
- Mental Health Units (Use of Force) Act 2018
- Autism Act 2009

## Architecture

```
User Query → i.AI UKPGA Embedding Model (Semantic Search) → Local Statutory Cache → Gemini Flash → Plain English + Citations
```

All legislation data comes from the **[i.AI Lex](https://lex.lab.i.ai.gov.uk/)** bulk datasets (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). 
Semantic search capabilities are powered locally using the `i-dot-ai/all-miniLM-L6-v2-UKPGA-6k-finetune` sentence transformer, specifically trained on UK Public General Acts.
