From assessment to approved record

Note Dr listens to the clinic as it happens. While you palpate pulses, test sensation and reason through the risk category aloud, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the foot and your eyes stay off the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible by
default, every escalation

  • Vascular and neurological assessment on record

    Pulses, Doppler, monofilament and vibration, the findings that justify your risk category, captured as you call them out, not reconstructed later.

  • Risk stratification and escalation captured

    The risk category you assigned and the referral you triggered, recorded the moment you act, where NHS Resolution found inconsistent documentation drives avoidable harm.

  • Consent for treatment recorded

    What you explained before sharp debridement or nail surgery and what the patient agreed to, recorded the moment you gain consent.

As thorough as your risk check

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, vascular and neurological assessment, risk stratification, ulcer grading and escalation, where published standards and reviews show conventional diabetic foot records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

Standards and reviews referenced: the HCPC standards of proficiency and the Royal College of Podiatry Record Keeping standard, NHS Resolution's review of diabetic lower-limb claims (2022) and the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit.

    Ask Note Dr, Gurpreet Dhillon
    What did we find for Gurpreet, and where did we refer him?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the review on 15 June, you found a neuropathic ulcer at the right first metatarsal head, University of Texas grade 1A, with absent pedal pulses. You stratified it as an active diabetic foot problem, debrided the callus, and made an urgent referral to the multidisciplinary foot team the same day.

    The standard,
    at the diabetic foot clinic

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance diabetic foot podiatrists work to, from NICE NG19 and the National Diabetes Foot Care Audit to ulcer classification systems and the Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standard, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why diabetic foot podiatrists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    Pulses and monofilament, always on record

    Asha R, diabetic foot podiatrist

    I always tested pulses and sensation, but the findings did not always make the note when clinic was full. Now the vascular and neuro assessment is in every record, exactly where my biggest exposure sat. I check and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Risk and referral, never skipped

    Declan M, advanced podiatrist

    The risk category and the referral were the first things to slip when I was behind. Note Dr captures the category I assigned and the escalation I triggered every time, so the record shows I acted, not just that I looked.

    ★★★★★

    Hands stay on the foot

    Bethan P, podiatrist

    I'm not breaking off mid-assessment to type any more. I palpate, I test, I reason aloud, and the record writes itself in the background. The patient gets a clinician, not someone half-watching a screen.

    ★★★★★

    Consent, on every nail surgery

    Olufemi A, podiatric surgeon

    Recording the consent for a partial nail avulsion, the risks I explained and what the patient agreed to, used to be the box I forgot when busy. Now it is in every surgical note, which is exactly where the claims tend to land.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest audit we've had

    Marta K, clinical lead podiatrist

    Contemporaneous records across the whole foot team, with vascular findings, risk category and escalation on every contact. Our last record-keeping audit was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the whole story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a full diabetic foot list, surveillance, active ulcers and post-surgical reviews, every record now reads to the same standard, with the vascular findings, risk category and escalation that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Diabetic foot podiatrist FAQs

    Is there an AI scribe for diabetic foot clinics in the UK?

    Yes — Note Dr is a UK ambient AI scribe that documents diabetic foot clinics, transcribing on-device and drafting the record for the podiatrist to review and approve. As you palpate pulses, test with the monofilament and reason through the risk category, it drafts the assessment, the escalation to the multidisciplinary foot team and the safety-netting, ready for you to check.

    What is the best AI scribe for diabetic foot podiatry?

    The best AI scribe for diabetic foot podiatry is one that captures what scrutiny actually tests: the vascular and neurological findings behind your risk category, the escalation you triggered and the consent you took. Note Dr drafts each as you assess — pulses, monofilament, ulcer grade, multidisciplinary foot-team referral — and you review and approve every note before saving.

    Can AI write my diabetic foot assessment notes?

    An AI scribe can draft the whole diabetic foot assessment from what is said in the room; with Note Dr, the podiatrist reviews and approves every note before it is saved. Call out your findings as you work — Doppler signals, protective sensation, callus and deformity, footwear — and Note Dr structures them into the assessment layout you use, from annual foot screening to an active ulcer review.

    Does an AI scribe work with my podiatry practice software?

    Note Dr works alongside any podiatry system by design: you copy the approved note into your practice management software or NHS record, with no integration project needed. Whether your service runs on a hospital system, community record or private clinic software, the workflow is the same — assess, review the drafted note, approve it and paste it in, in clinic or on a domiciliary visit.

    Does Note Dr document diabetic foot risk stratification?

    Yes. As you weigh sensation, perfusion, deformity and ulcer status and assign a category aloud, Note Dr records the risk stratification and the reasoning behind it, aligned to NICE NG19. NHS Resolution links inconsistent recording to avoidable harm, so it is captured every clinic. You review and approve before saving.

    Can it capture vascular and neurological assessment?

    Yes. As you call out pedal pulses, Doppler signals, monofilament results and vibration, Note Dr records your vascular and neurological assessment in the structured note. These findings justify your risk category and your escalation, and are recorded contemporaneously rather than reconstructed from memory after a busy clinic.

    Is Note Dr suitable for HCPC and Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping?

    It is designed to support complete, accurate and contemporaneous records that align with the HCPC standards and the Royal College of Podiatry record-keeping standard. Every note is reviewed and approved by you, so what reaches the patient record is yours, not the software's. The clinical judgement stays entirely with you.

    Records that keep up with your foot clinic

    Complete, watertight records for every foot on your list, surveillance, active ulcers and nail surgery, reviewed and approved by you. Vascular findings, risk category and escalation, finally handled.
