Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you watch the child walk, assess and reason aloud and agree a plan with the parent, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the child and your attention stays in the room, not on the keyboard.
Parental responsibility and consent recorded
Who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and the consent they gave for examination, photography or orthoses, captured as you work, not reconstructed later.
Assessment and escalation reasoning on record
The gait and developmental findings, the neurovascular screen and the reasoning that separates a benign variant from one needing referral, captured as you think it through aloud.
Monitoring measures captured
The angles, the Foot Posture Index and the gait record you took as a baseline to track change, 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 developmental and gait assessment, the neurovascular screen, your reasoning, consent and the measures you took to monitor, where published standards and audits show conventional podiatry records routinely fall short.
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 what you assessed last time, the plan you agreed, or what the parent consented to, answered in seconds from the child's own record.
Walk into the review already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a child's presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance paediatric podiatrists work to, from the HCPC Standards of Proficiency and the Royal College of Podiatry Record Keeping standard to NICE guidance and developmental red-flag screening, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

Why paediatric podiatrists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.
★★★★★
My reasoning is finally on record
I always reasoned out loud, why the in-toeing was from the hip and not the foot, why it needed monitoring not treatment. Now that reasoning is right there in the note. I edit and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Consent with the parent, every time
Recording parental consent for examination and photography used to be the box I forgot when busy. Now who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and what they agreed to is in every note, which is exactly where my biggest exposure was.
★★★★★
The child gets my full attention
Watching a six-year-old's gait and typing never worked. Now I assess, I reason aloud, I talk to the parent, and the record writes itself in the background. The child and the family get a clinician, not someone half-watching a screen.
★★★★★
Monitoring measures, never skipped
Baseline angles and the Foot Posture Index were the first things to slip when clinic ran late. Note Dr captures them every time, so when the child comes back I can show exactly how the gait has changed, not guess from memory.
★★★★★
Safeguarding-aware notes, by default
Factual, contemporaneous records across the whole team, with consent and monitoring on every episode and non-attendance logged. Our last record-keeping audit against the Royal College standard was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full children's caseload, new assessments, gait reviews and orthoses, every record now reads to the same standard, with the developmental reasoning, the consent and the monitoring measures that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.
Bethan CPaediatric podiatrist
Yes, Note Dr is an ambient AI scribe suited to paediatric podiatry. It listens as you take the developmental history, watch the child walk and agree a plan with the parent, then drafts the record: gait and lower-limb examination, neurovascular screen, parental consent and monitoring measures. Transcription runs on your device. You review and approve every note before it's filed.
No, Note Dr does not need to integrate with your patient-management or clinical-record system to work. It drafts the paediatric podiatry note, the developmental history, gait assessment, plan, parental consent and monitoring measures, and you review, approve and then paste or export it into whatever record you keep. That keeps the final note in your hands and avoids a lengthy integration project.
Yes, Note Dr writes the record in the background while you examine the child, so your hands and eyes stay on the child rather than the keyboard. As you observe the gait, call out the foot progression angle, hip rotation, thigh-foot axis and Foot Posture Index and reason aloud with the parent, it captures each finding in your structured note, ready for you to review and approve.
Note Dr captures who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and the consent they gave for examination, photography or orthoses, as you work. Where an older or competent child is assessed for Gillick competence, that discussion is documented too, so the basis for consent is always clear in the child's contemporaneous record.
As you review a child with Sever's disease, Note Dr records the calcaneal squeeze test, calf and ankle dorsiflexion range, activity tolerance and pain, and compares them against the baseline you set. The response to heel raises, calf stretching and a graded return to sport is captured in your structured note, with the parent's consent, ready for you to review and approve.
Yes, as you record foot progression angles, hip rotation, the Foot Posture Index or a pain score and note gait photography, Note Dr logs them in your structured note as a baseline. At review the measure is ready to repeat, so change is tracked from the record rather than from memory. You review and approve.
Note Dr writes a clear, factual, contemporaneous account of what was seen, said and done, including who attended, non-attendance and any injury history, the kind of objective record safeguarding decisions rely on. You review every note, and any safeguarding judgement or referral stays entirely with you.
