From clinic consultation to approved letter

Note Dr listens to the clinic as it happens. While you take the history, talk through the spirometry and CT, and agree the plan aloud, it drafts the structured clinic letter in the background, so your attention stays on the patient and not the dictation.

Built for scrutiny

Defensible by
default, clinic to ward

  • Investigation reasoning on record

    Why you ordered the spirometry and the CT, and how you read them, captured as you interpret aloud, not reconstructed when a result is later queried.

  • The MDT referral, documented

    The nodule found, the cancer MDT referral made and the interval imaging planned, recorded the moment you decide, so nothing falls between clinic and the meeting.

  • Inhaler and oxygen plans captured

    The device started, the technique checked and the counselling given, or the oxygen assessment and target saturations, the elements audits show drop out first.

As clear as your chest exam

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the investigation reasoning, the inhaler and oxygen plan, the MDT outcome and the continuity to the GP, where ward-round and discharge audits show conventional 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).

    The last review,

    Ask Note Dr, Carys Eskdale
    What did we find for Carys, and what was the MDT plan?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the clinic on 11 June, you diagnosed COPD, GOLD group B on obstructive spirometry, FEV1 62% predicted, and started a LABA/LAMA inhaler with pulmonary rehab. CT showed an 8mm right-upper-lobe nodule, referred to the lung cancer MDT with interval imaging planned.

    The standard,
    in the chest clinic

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance respiratory physicians work to, from the GMC and RCP record-keeping standards and the AoMRC letter headings to NICE COPD, BTS oxygen and Fleischner nodule guidance, with the source shown. It never tells you how to manage your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why respiratory physicians trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    My reasoning is in the letter

    Dr Aneurin P, consultant respiratory physician

    I always talked through the spirometry and the CT as I read them, but half of it never made the clinic letter. Now why I ordered each test and how I interpreted it is right there. I review and approve in under a minute.

    ★★★★★

    MDT referrals never slip

    Dr Saoirse M, respiratory consultant

    An incidental nodule used to live in my head until I got to a computer. Note Dr records the MDT referral and the interval scan the moment I decide, so nothing falls between clinic and the meeting. That was my biggest worry.

    ★★★★★

    Inhaler and oxygen plans, captured

    Dr Kwabena O, consultant in respiratory medicine

    The device I started, the technique I checked, the oxygen targets I set, those were the lines I skipped when clinic overran. Now they are in every note, which is exactly where the record-keeping audits said we were weak.

    ★★★★★

    Discharge summaries on time

    Dr Liesel H, respiratory registrar

    Post-take I would carry the plan and the medication changes in my head onto a late discharge summary. Note Dr drafts it from the round itself, medication changes flagged, so the GP letter is ready inside the 24 hours.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest records audit yet

    Dr Tomasz W, clinical lead, respiratory

    Contemporaneous entries across the whole team, with the plan, oxygen targets and follow-up on every contact. Our last record-keeping audit against the RCP standards was the smoothest we have run, the notes already told the story.

    ★★★★★

    Across a full service, clinic letters, post-take ward rounds and discharges, every record now reads to the same standard, with the investigation reasoning, the inhaler and oxygen plans and the MDT outcomes that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

    Respiratory physician FAQs

    Is there an AI scribe for respiratory medicine in the UK?

    Note Dr is an AI scribe built for UK respiratory medicine. It drafts the documents a chest clinic runs on — the outpatient clinic letter to AoMRC structure, the post-take ward-round entry, the lung cancer or TB MDT referral and the discharge summary — in British English. Transcription runs on your device, and you review and approve every note before it reaches the record.

    Can Note Dr draft my respiratory clinic letter?

    Yes. As you take the history, interpret the investigations and agree the plan aloud, Note Dr drafts the clinic letter to the AoMRC structure: reason for referral, history, examination, results, diagnosis and follow-up. It is addressed to the patient and copied to the GP. You review and approve before it sends.

    Does it document my investigation reasoning for spirometry and imaging?

    Yes. As you call out spirometry values and interpret the obstructive or restrictive pattern, and read the CT or chest radiograph aloud, Note Dr records why you ordered each test and how you interpreted it. The clinical reasoning is captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed when a result is later queried.

    Can it draft respiratory referral letters to other specialists?

    Yes. When you refer to thoracic surgery, oncology, sleep services or the lung cancer MDT, Note Dr drafts the referral letter from the consultation, carrying the spirometry and imaging you interpreted, the working diagnosis and the specific question you are asking of the team. You review and approve it before it sends, and it copies to the GP alongside your clinic letter.

    Can it capture inhaler and oxygen plans?

    Yes. As you start a device, check technique and counsel the patient, or set oxygen target saturations and a long-term oxygen prescription, Note Dr records the plan in the structured note. Inhaler technique and oxygen targets are demonstrated and talked through rather than captured as a number on a screen, so they slip away easily once a full clinic is finally behind you.

    Does an AI scribe need EHR or EPR integration?

    No. Note Dr works alongside whatever system your trust or clinic uses, with no integration project and no EPR build. It drafts your respiratory clinic letter, ward-round entry or discharge summary as a structured note that you review, approve and then paste or export into the record. The clinical reasoning, inhaler and oxygen plans and MDT outcome stay with you, not locked to one platform.

    Is an AI scribe safe to use during patient consultations?

    Note Dr transcribes the consultation on your device rather than sending the raw audio away, then drafts the clinical note from it. Nothing enters the record until you have read it: you review and approve every clinic letter, ward-round entry and discharge summary, so the final note is your account. Note Dr documents the consultation; it does not diagnose, prescribe or replace your judgement.

    Records that keep up with the chest clinic

    Complete, watertight records for every respiratory contact, clinic letters, post-take rounds, MDT entries and discharges, reviewed and approved by you. Investigation reasoning, inhaler and oxygen plans, finally handled.
