Note Dr listens to the consultation as it happens. While you take the history, examine, reason through the differentials and agree the plan, it writes the record in the background, so your attention stays on the patient and not the keyboard.
Safety-netting, written down not just said
Spoken safety-netting reaches the note in only about a third of consultations. Note Dr captures the advice you gave, the red flags and when to return, the moment you say it.
Differentials and negative findings captured
What you considered and ruled out, and the findings that were normal, recorded as you reason aloud. The negatives that defend a delayed-diagnosis claim are on the page, not lost.
Abnormal results with an owned next action
The result, the plan if it comes back raised and who owns the follow-up, documented so the action is clear to whoever the patient speaks to next, not left to memory.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the history, the differentials and negative findings, the safety-netting and the follow-up on results, where conventional GP records measured against published standards routinely fall short.
Standards and evidence referenced: GMC Good Medical Practice (2024) and the NMC Code (2018), with safety-netting documentation studies (Edwards et al, British Journal of General Practice, 2021) and the NHS Resolution review of GP cancer-delay claims (2025).
Ask what you found last time, the differentials you weighed, the safety-netting you gave or what you were waiting on, answered in seconds from the patient's own record.
Walk into the follow-up already knowing the story, without trawling the consultation history.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance GPs work to, from GMC Good Medical Practice on record-keeping to NICE NG12 suspected cancer and safety-netting advice, with the source shown. It never tells you how to manage your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
My safety-netting is finally written down
I always safety-netted out loud, but I knew half of it never reached the note. Now the red flags and when to come back are in every consultation, captured as I say them. I check and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
The differentials I ruled out are on record
Delayed-diagnosis claims turn on what you considered and the findings that were normal. Note Dr records the differentials I weighed and the negatives, so the reasoning that defends me is on the page, not lost when clinic runs late.
★★★★★
Remote consultations, properly recorded
Telephone notes used to be the thinnest in the record. Now the reason for the call, the history, the plan and who owns the next action are all documented, which is exactly where the medicolegal exposure on remote work sat.
★★★★★
Results and follow-up never slip
Acting on abnormal results is where claims are won and lost. Note Dr records the result plan and the owner of the next action, so if a FIT or a blood comes back raised, the follow-up is clear to whoever the patient speaks to.
★★★★★
Calmest notes audit we've run
Contemporaneous consultations across the whole team, with differentials, safety-netting and follow-up on every record. Our last record-keeping review was the smoothest we've had, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full list, face-to-face, telephone and home visits, every consultation now reads to the same standard, with the differentials, the negative findings and the safety-netting that used to vanish when surgery ran late. My notes finally match the medicine I actually practise.

Yes — tell the patient at the start of the consultation that an AI scribe is drafting the note, and proceed without it if they decline. Note Dr fits the consent models UK practices already use: a spoken mention at the start, backed by waiting-room and website notices. Nothing enters the record until you have reviewed and approved the draft.
You remain the author of the record — Note Dr drafts, you decide what stands. Every consultation note is reviewed, edited where needed and approved by you before it is pasted into EMIS Web, SystmOne or Vision; the scribe never files anything itself. That keeps the entry your own checked note, which is what GMC record-keeping guidance asks of anything entered in the record.
Yes — a Data Protection Impact Assessment is the expected first step when a UK practice introduces ambient scribing. Note Dr keeps the data-flow map short: transcription happens on the device in the consulting room, the drafted note returns for you to review and approve, and there is no clinical-system integration to assess because you paste the finished note into EMIS Web or SystmOne yourself.
Note Dr drafts the consultation narrative; clinical coding stays in your GP system, where you attach SNOMED CT codes as you file the note in EMIS Web or SystmOne. Because the draft sets out the problem, examination, investigations, plan and safety-netting in order, the items that earn QOF and enhanced-service codes are easy to pick out rather than buried in free text.
Yes. Note Dr sits beside whatever GP system you already run. You paste or export the finished consultation note straight into EMIS Web, SystmOne or Vision, with no integration project and nothing to rip out and replace. It is a scribe, not a replacement for your clinical system.
Note Dr records why the remote consultation happened, the history you took, what could not be examined and the plan, including who owns the next action. NHS Resolution has linked remote-consultation records to litigation risk, so the full picture is documented for you to approve.
Yes. As you reason through the differentials aloud and call out the findings that were normal, Note Dr records both in the note. The differentials you considered and the negatives you found are the elements that defend a delayed-diagnosis claim, captured contemporaneously rather than reconstructed from memory later.
