Note Dr listens to the session as it happens. While you assess the child, handle and reason aloud and agree goals 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 hands-on assessment, captured as you treat, not reconstructed later.
Developmental reasoning on record
The GMFCS level, the tone and the gait pattern, with the reasoning behind your working picture, captured as you think it through aloud.
Family goals and outcome measures captured
The family-centred goals you agreed and the validated measure you took, such as the GMFM, 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, developmental assessment, reasoning, family goals, consent and outcome measures, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short.
Audits referenced: Turner et al (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 1999), Sumner et al (Physiotherapy, 2000), O'Donovan et al (Physiotherapy Canada, 2017) and Paim et al (Disability and Rehabilitation, 2022).
Ask what you assessed last time, the family goals you set, 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 physiotherapists work to, from the CSP record-keeping and APCP outcome-measure guidance to NICE cerebral palsy advice and developmental red-flag screening, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
My reasoning is finally on record
I always reasoned out loud during a developmental assessment, but half of it never made the note. Now the GMFCS level, the tone and why I set the plan I did is right there. I edit and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Family goals, never skipped
Family goals and outcome measures were always the first to slip when clinic ran late. Note Dr captures the goal the parent and I agree and the baseline GMFM every time, so my notes finally show what the family set out to achieve.
★★★★★
The child gets my full attention
Handling a wriggly four-year-old 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.
★★★★★
Consent with the parent, every time
Recording parental consent for hands-on work 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.
★★★★★
Safeguarding-aware notes, by default
Factual, contemporaneous records across the whole team, with goals, consent and outcome measures on every episode, and non-attendance logged. Our last CSP-standards audit was the smoothest we've 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, reviews and discharges, every record now reads to the same standard, with the developmental reasoning, the family goals and the GMFM scores that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the work I actually do.

Yes, because in paediatric physiotherapy your own narration carries the record, not the child's speech. As you observe a pre-verbal or restless child, handle them and describe the tone, posture, gait and developmental milestones you see, Note Dr drafts the note from what you say and what the parent tells you. You review, correct and approve every draft before it is saved.
Yes, Note Dr documents home visits, nursery sessions and school reviews just as it does a clinic appointment. Transcription runs on the device you carry, so you assess a child in their setting, agree goals with the parent or teacher, and the record drafts in the background — goals, outcome measures and home programme included — ready to review, approve and paste into your system.
Note Dr drafts your physiotherapy contribution to an Education, Health and Care Plan to your own template, drawing the child's presentation, GMFCS level, family goals and outcome measures straight from your session notes. It builds the draft; you shape the wording, add your clinical judgement and approve the report before it is shared. The written record stays yours.
As you call out the child's developmental history, tone, range and gait and classify function with the GMFCS, Note Dr records your objective examination and the reasoning behind your working picture. The developmental assessment is captured contemporaneously and structured the way you write paediatric notes, ready for you to review and approve.
Yes. As you take a validated paediatric measure such as the GMFM, Goal Attainment Scaling or a gait score, Note Dr records it in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. You score these in the snatched moments a young child stays engaged, so the detail blurs easily once the write-up waits until after clinic. You review and approve before saving.
Note Dr captures who attended, that they hold parental responsibility and the consent they gave for hands-on assessment, as you treat. 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.
Note Dr writes a clear, factual, contemporaneous account of what was seen, said and done, including 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.
