Trusted from independent clinics to elite performance teams
Auscultation, SpO2, the airway clearance you chose and the consent for it, Note Dr writes the full respiratory record, ready to approve.

Note Dr listens to the contact as it happens. While you auscultate, check saturations, treat and reason aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and the circuit, not the keyboard.
Respiratory findings on record
Auscultation, saturations, work of breathing and the reasoning that ruled retention in and bronchospasm out, captured as you call it, not reconstructed after the round.
Consent for the technique you chose
What you explained, the airway clearance technique proposed and what the patient agreed to, including what you avoided and why, recorded the moment you gain consent.
SpO2 and rehab outcomes captured
The pre and post saturations, the sputum cleared and the validated rehab measures, the very elements audits show fall away when the ward is busy.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, respiratory assessment, technique reasoning, consent, SpO2 and rehab outcomes, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short.
Audits referenced: Turner et al (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999), Sumner et al (Physiotherapy, 2000), O'Donovan et al (Physiotherapy Canada, 2017) and Paim et al (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2022).
Ask what you auscultated last time, the technique you used, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk onto the ward already knowing the chest, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance cardiorespiratory physiotherapists work to, from the ACPRC airway clearance and on-call standards to BTS and NICE COPD, bronchiectasis and pulmonary rehabilitation guidance, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
My auscultation is finally on record
I'd auscultate, treat and move on, and half the findings never made the note. Now the crackles, the saturations and why I chose active cycle of breathing over percussion are right there. I check and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
SpO2 and outcomes, never skipped
Pre and post saturations and the rehab outcome measures were the first things to slip when the ward ran late. Note Dr captures the SpO2 response and the six-minute walk every time, so my notes finally show what the treatment achieved.
★★★★★
Hands stay on the patient
In critical care I'm not breaking off mid-treatment to type any more. I bag, suction and reason aloud, and the record writes itself at the bed space. The patient gets a clinician watching them, not a screen.
★★★★★
Consent, on every technique
Recording consent for manual techniques was the box I forgot when busy. Now what I explained, what I used and what the patient declined is in every note, which is exactly where my biggest exposure was on the wards.
★★★★★
Calmest audit we've had
Contemporaneous records across the team, ward, ICU and rehab, with assessment, consent and outcome measures on every contact. Our last CSP-standards audit was the smoothest we've run, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across the whole respiratory pathway, ICU contacts, ward airway clearance and pulmonary rehab reviews, every record now reads to the same standard, with the auscultation, saturations, consent and outcome measures that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

Yes — much of a cardiorespiratory record comes from the clinician, not the patient. When someone is ventilated, drowsy or too breathless to talk, you narrate as you work: auscultation findings, saturations, work of breathing, the airway clearance technique you chose and how the patient responded. Note Dr drafts the note from your spoken reasoning for you to review and approve.
AI scribes are in use across NHS settings, and NHS England has published guidance on adopting ambient scribing tools. Your trust or board still runs its own information-governance and clinical-safety sign-off, so check locally before recording on the ward. Note Dr is built for that: transcription happens on your device, and every note is a draft until you review and approve it.
Yes — Note Dr drafts the record of an on-call respiratory call-out while it is still fresh. Dictate your assessment, the treatment you delivered — positioning, suction, manual hyperinflation — the response and your escalation plan, and it is structured for you. You review and approve it before it is saved, so a solo out-of-hours visit gets the same contemporaneous record as a ward round.
Yes. As you call out auscultation findings, saturations, respiratory rate and work of breathing, and reason toward a problem such as sputum retention aloud, Note Dr records your full respiratory assessment and the reasoning behind it. It is captured contemporaneously at the bedside, not reconstructed from memory later. You review and approve before saving.
Yes. As you deliver active cycle of breathing, positioning, manual hyperinflation or suction, Note Dr records the technique, the position, the dosage and the response, including pre and post saturations and the sputum cleared. The whole treatment contact reaches your structured note, ready for you to check and approve.
Yes. As you repeat a validated measure such as the six-minute walk test, the COPD Assessment Test or a modified Borg score, Note Dr records it against the baseline in your note, ready to track across the programme. A walk distance or Borg score, held in your head while you supervise the circuit, blurs easily before the write-up, so it lands in the note the moment the patient finishes.
As you explain a technique and the patient agrees, Note Dr captures the consent discussion: what you explained, the clearance technique proposed and that the patient consented, including anything they declined and why. It is recorded the moment you gain consent, so your records reflect the conversation, even for percussion avoided over a wound.
