Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you check the wound, test range against the protocol and reason aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.
Surgeon's protocol and precautions captured
The post-operative protocol you followed and the precautions you stayed within, recorded against the session, not reconstructed if a question is raised later.
Clinical reasoning on record
Why the range, the load and the progression were safe at this stage, captured as you reason it through aloud and check it against the surgeon's plan.
Outcome measures and goals captured
The validated scores you took, the Oxford Knee or Hip Score, and the rehab goals you set, the very elements audits show go missing most.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the protocol, precautions, reasoning, goals and 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 which procedure they had, the precautions in force, the range you measured last time or the goals you set, answered in seconds from their own record.
Walk into the post-op review already knowing the protocol, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance orthopaedic physiotherapists work to, from the CSP record-keeping and outcome-measure guidance to NICE joint replacement and fracture rehabilitation advice and post-operative red-flag screening, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
The protocol is on every note
Working to a surgeon's protocol means the precautions have to be on record, and they never reliably were. Now the protocol, the precautions and why the progression was safe are in every post-op note. I edit and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Outcome scores, never skipped
Oxford Knee and Hip Scores were always the first thing to slip on a busy post-op list. Note Dr captures the score and the range every session, so my notes finally show recovery tracking against the protocol milestones.
★★★★★
Hands stay on the joint
I'm not breaking off mid-assessment to type any more. I test the range, I reason aloud against the protocol, and the record writes itself. The post-op patient gets a clinician, not someone half-watching a screen.
★★★★★
Surgeon liaison, properly evidenced
When I flag a concern to the surgical team, the record now shows exactly what I found and what I escalated. The shared-care conversation is documented, which is precisely where a post-op caseload carries its risk.
★★★★★
Calmest audit we've had
Contemporaneous records across the whole rehab team, with protocol, precautions, goals and outcome measures on every episode. 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 a full post-op list, total knees, hips and fracture rehab, every record now reads to the same standard, with the protocol, precautions, reasoning and outcome scores that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the rehab I actually deliver.

Note Dr sits alongside your existing records rather than replacing them: once you have reviewed and approved the post-operative note, you copy or export it into Cliniko, WriteUpp or whatever system your clinic keeps. There is no integration to configure and nothing to migrate, so you can start documenting your MSK and post-op caseload straight away, keeping the record you already trust.
Note Dr helps you produce the contemporaneous, structured records the CSP and HCPC record-keeping standards call for, capturing the surgeon's protocol, the precautions, your objective findings and outcome measures against each session. It drafts the note and you review and approve every line before it is saved, so the record and the clinical judgement stay yours.
Note Dr transcribes the consultation on your own device and then drafts the clinical note for you to review and approve, so nothing enters your post-operative record without your say-so. It documents but does not diagnose, prescribe or decide treatment: that judgement stays with you. You confirm the protocol, precautions, range and outcome measures aloud, then approve before saving.
Note Dr has a free plan you can use across your orthopaedic and MSK caseload, from the post-operative assessment through rehab reviews to the discharge summary. It drafts each note as you examine the joint, test range against the surgeon's protocol and reason aloud, ready for you to review and approve. No card is needed and it is not a time-limited trial.
As you confirm the surgeon's protocol, the weight-bearing status and the precautions you are working within, Note Dr records them in your structured note against the session. The protocol followed and any precaution observed are captured contemporaneously, so your record shows the rehab was delivered safely. You review and approve before saving.
Yes. As you take a validated measure such as the Oxford Knee Score, the Oxford Hip Score or a logged range of movement, Note Dr records it in your note, ready to repeat at review. Left to write-up, a score or a range read off at the plinth lives only in your memory, and on a busy post-op list the exact figure fades before it reaches the note. You review and approve before saving.
When you escalate a concern or liaise with the surgical team, Note Dr captures what you found, what you communicated and any change to the plan, recorded against the session. The shared-care conversation is documented as it happens, so your record reflects the discussion and the onward action you took.
