From review to approved record

Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you take the history, check observations, talk through results and agree the plan, it writes the record in the background, so your eyes stay on the patient and not the keyboard.

Built for scrutiny

A record that
holds up, every clinic

  • Safety-netting on record

    What you told the patient to watch for and when to come back, captured as you say it, not the line that quietly drops off when notes are written from memory.

  • Results acted on, with a follow-up

    The result you reviewed, what you decided and who owns the next action, recorded clearly, so an abnormal result is never left without a documented plan.

  • Attributed and contemporaneous

    Every entry written at the time and attributed to you, in plain clinical language with no guesswork, exactly as the NMC Code Section 10 expects.

Document the diabetes review plan

Plan, annual diabetes review

Result acted onHbA1c 58, below target, no dose change
Safety-netting givenNew foot pain or non-healing sore, rebook urgently

As thorough as your appointment

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the consultation and reasoning, the safety-netting and follow-up, and the continuity for the next clinician, where conventional primary-care records measured against published standards routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

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).

A note for
every clinic you run

    Patient memory

    Last review's results,
    before they sit down

    Ask what you found last time, the results you acted on, or the safety-netting you gave, answered in seconds from the patient's own record.

    Walk into the appointment already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.

    Ask Note Dr, Olwen Brynmor
    What did we find at Olwen's last diabetes review, and what was the plan?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the annual review on 10 May, HbA1c was 58 mmol/mol, down from 68, BP 134/82 and the foot check was low risk. You made no change to metformin, sent a urine ACR for the GP to review, and safety-netted for new foot pain or a non-healing sore, with recall in 12 months.

    The standard,
    at the chairside

    When an appointment calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance practice nurses work to, from the NMC Code on record-keeping to NICE guidance and the Green Book on immunisation, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why practice nurses trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    Safety-netting is finally in every note

    Esyllt C, practice nurse

    I always gave safety-netting, but in a busy clinic it was the line that never made the typed-up note. Now exactly what I told the patient to watch for, and when to come back, is there in every record. I check and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    Results never sit without a plan

    Petroc Q, advanced nurse practitioner

    The result I acted on and who owns the next step is documented every time now. After reading what NHS Resolution says about abnormal results, that is exactly the gap I wanted closed, and Note Dr closes it for me.

    ★★★★★

    My QOF reviews write themselves

    Ottoline M, practice nurse and nurse prescriber

    Annual reviews used to mean clicking through templates while the patient waited. Now the history, the foot check, the bloods and the recall are captured as I talk, and the structured note is ready. The patient gets me, not the screen.

    ★★★★★

    Wound clinics, properly tracked

    Bryallen T, practice nurse

    Size, appearance, the dressing used and the review date are on every wound note now, so progress is obvious at the next visit. When a wound deteriorated, the record showed exactly what we had done and when. That mattered.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest record audit we have had

    Marsali W, lead practice nurse

    Contemporaneous, attributed records across the whole nursing team, with safety-netting and follow-up on every appointment. Our last record-keeping audit against the NMC Code was the smoothest we have run; the notes already told the whole story.

    Across a full clinic list, annual reviews, immunisations and wound care, every record now reads to the same standard, with the safety-netting, the results I acted on and the follow-up that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the care I actually give.

    Practice nurse FAQs

    Is there a free AI scribe for practice nurses?

    Yes — Note Dr has a free-forever plan, so practice nurses can use ambient AI documentation across their clinics, from chronic-disease reviews to immunisations and wound care, without a trial period or a credit card. Transcription happens on your device, Note Dr drafts the structured note, and you review and approve every record before it reaches the patient's notes.

    Does Note Dr work with EMIS or SystmOne?

    Note Dr does not write into your clinical system; instead it drafts the note and you copy or export the approved record into EMIS, SystmOne or whatever your surgery uses. Because there is no integration to set up, you can start straight away without waiting for IT sign-off, and the note only ever enters the record once you have reviewed and approved it.

    Does Note Dr help me meet the NMC Code on record-keeping?

    It is designed to support records that are complete, made at the time and clearly attributed to you, in plain language without unnecessary abbreviations or speculation, in line with the NMC Code (2018) Section 10. Every note is reviewed and approved by you before it reaches the patient record.

    Can it document a chronic-disease or annual QOF review?

    Yes. As you take the history, record observations, review bloods and agree the plan, Note Dr captures the structured review: the foot check, HbA1c or other results, the recall and the safety-netting. It drafts to your review template, and you check and approve every entry before saving.

    How does Note Dr record immunisations?

    As you check eligibility, gain consent and vaccinate, Note Dr captures the consent discussion, the vaccine, site and dose, and the advice you gave. You add or confirm the batch number and expiry, then review and approve, so the immunisation entry is complete and contemporaneous.

    Can it document a cervical screening or travel health appointment?

    Yes — Note Dr drafts the record for the wider clinics practice nurses run, including cervical screening and travel health. As you check eligibility and take consent, it captures the screening sample and post-procedure advice, or the travel risk assessment and vaccines given under a Patient Group Direction. You build a template once, then review and approve each note before saving.

    Does it record safety-netting and abnormal results?

    Yes. As you give safety-netting advice and act on a result, Note Dr records what you told the patient to watch for, what you decided and who owns the next action. This is the documentation studies and claims reviews show is most often missing. You review and approve before saving.

    Records that keep up with your nurse clinic

    Complete, attributed records for every appointment on your list, chronic-disease reviews, immunisations and wound care, reviewed and approved by you. Safety-netting, results and follow-up, finally handled.
