Staging and performance status, the regimen and its intent, the risks you consented, Note Dr writes the full, watertight record, ready to approve.

Note Dr listens to the consultation as it happens. While you take the history, weigh the trial evidence and consent the regimen aloud, it writes the record and drafts the clinic letter in the background, so your eyes stay on the patient, not the keyboard.
Consent and material risks on record
The intent of treatment, the material risks you discussed and the alternatives, captured as you consent the regimen, the Montgomery-standard discussion documented contemporaneously.
MDT decision and reasoning captured
The multidisciplinary recommendation and the reasoning behind the line of treatment, recorded as you explain it, not summarised from memory after clinic.
Toxicity monitoring documented
The bloods you ordered, the dose decisions you made and the sepsis safety-netting you gave, the elements audits show slip when clinic overruns.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, staging and performance status, the consent discussion, the MDT decision and toxicity monitoring, where audits against published standards show conventional hospital records routinely fall short.
Standards and audits referenced: GMC Good Medical Practice (2024), the RCP Generic Medical Record Keeping Standards (Carpenter et al, 2007) and the AoMRC record standards (2013) under the NHS Standard Contract, with ward-round and discharge audits (Armstrong and Carpenter, Cureus, 2022; Mehta et al, BMC Health Services Research, 2017).
Ask what you consented, what the MDT recommended, or which toxicities you were monitoring, answered in seconds from the patient's own record.
Walk into clinic already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a decision calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance medical oncologists work to, from GMC Good Medical Practice and the AoMRC record standards to NICE and ESMO treatment guidance and SACT toxicity management, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
Consent finally reads like the conversation
Consenting chemotherapy is the highest-stakes discussion I have. Note Dr captures the intent, the material risks and the alternatives the way I actually said them. The Montgomery-standard record is there before I leave the room.
★★★★★
The clinic letter writes itself
I used to dictate letters for hours after clinic. Now the GP letter is drafted to the right headings as I consult, with the diagnosis, plan and monitoring. I review and approve, and it goes out inside the seven days.
★★★★★
MDT outcomes never get lost
The MDT decision and the reasoning behind the line of treatment used to live in my head until I wrote the note that evening. Now it is recorded as we agree it, with the rationale, so continuity across the team is solid.
★★★★★
Toxicity monitoring, on every note
The bloods I ordered, the dose decisions, the sepsis safety-netting, those are exactly where my exposure sits. They are now in every treatment note, contemporaneously, rather than the bits I hoped I had remembered to write.
★★★★★
Calmest case-note review we've run
Contemporaneous records across the whole firm, with consent, MDT decisions and monitoring on every pathway. Our last case-note review was the smoothest in years, the notes already told the whole story for each patient.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full clinic, new diagnoses, treatment reviews and ward referrals, every record now reads to the same standard, with the consent discussion, the MDT decision and the toxicity monitoring that used to vanish when the lists overran. My notes finally match the decisions I actually make.
Dr Cordelia VConsultant medical oncologist
Note Dr is designed for the language of the oncology clinic: staging, performance status, regimen names, cycle numbers and toxicity grades, captured as you say them. Accuracy is protected by the workflow as much as the model — every draft is reviewed and approved by you before it enters the record, so anything misheard is yours to correct on the spot. Nothing is filed unread.
Yes — you stay in control of what is captured. Prognosis discussions and breaking bad news are the consultations where eye contact matters most, and Note Dr writes in the background so you are not typing through them. You choose when it listens, and the draft only becomes part of the record once you have read, amended and approved it.
Yes — Note Dr drafts the trial discussion into the note as you have it: eligibility, what randomisation means, the visit burden and the standard-of-care alternative. The record then shows what the patient was actually told when they considered the trial. Formal trial consent still follows your unit's own process; the note documents the conversation behind it, reviewed and approved by you.
Yes — tell the patient what Note Dr does and take their agreement before it listens, as you would for any recording of a consultation. In oncology clinics, where relatives often sit in and conversations can be distressing, explain it briefly and leave it off for anything they prefer unrecorded. Transcription stays on your device, and nothing is filed until you review and approve it.
As you explain the intent of treatment, the material risks and the alternatives, Note Dr captures the consent discussion to the Montgomery standard: what you disclosed, the risks the patient understood and that they agreed to proceed. It is recorded the moment you consent, so the note reflects the conversation accurately.
Yes. As you consult, Note Dr drafts a clinic letter to AoMRC headings, with the diagnosis, treatment plan, medication changes and monitoring. It is ready for you to review and approve well inside the seven-day NHS Standard Contract window. The letter that reaches the GP is yours, not the software's.
Yes. Note Dr records the multidisciplinary recommendation, the imaging and pathology summary and the reasoning behind the line of treatment, with the responsible clinician and the actions agreed. The decision and its rationale are captured as the outcome is reached, not reconstructed from memory after the meeting.
