From sensitive assessment to approved record

Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you take the history, explain the examination, gain consent and assess, it writes the record in the background, so the consent conversation and the chaperone offer reach the note exactly as they happened.

Built for scrutiny

Consent on record,
before you examine

  • Consent for intimate examination

    What you explained, that the patient could stop at any time, and that consent was gained, recorded the moment you gain it, before any internal examination.

  • The chaperone offer, documented

    That a chaperone was offered, and whether it was accepted or declined, captured every time, the single element these complaints most often turn on.

  • Outcome measures and goals captured

    The validated measure you took, such as the ICIQ, and the goals you agreed, the elements audits show fall away most across an episode of care.

As careful as your assessment

A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, assessment, consent, the chaperone offer, outcome measures and goals, where published audits show conventional physiotherapy records routinely fall short.

  • Attention on the patient
  • Time back in your day

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 Note Dr, Rachael Donovan
    What did Rachael consent to last time, and was a chaperone offered?
    NNote Drfrom this patient's record
    At the assessment on 9 June, you explained an internal vaginal examination, offered a chaperone, which was declined, and documented verbal consent before proceeding. You diagnosed stress incontinence with a mild prolapse, recorded a baseline ICIQ of 13, and agreed goals of continence and a return to running.

    The standard,
    in the clinic room

    When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance pelvic health physiotherapists work to, from the POGP and CSP guidance on intimate examination and chaperones to NICE guidance on urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

    Why pelvic health physiotherapists trust Note Dr with a record that stands up to scrutiny.

    ★★★★★

    Consent is on every intimate exam

    Hannah E, pelvic health physiotherapist

    Documenting consent for an internal examination was the box I'd reconstruct from memory after a busy clinic. Now what I explained and that the patient agreed is in the note before I examine. That is exactly where my exposure was.

    ★★★★★

    The chaperone offer, never missed

    Priya V, specialist pelvic health physiotherapist

    Whether I offered a chaperone, and what the patient decided, is recorded every single time now. It used to be the first thing to slip when I was running late, and it's the one thing a complaint always asks about.

    ★★★★★

    Outcome measures, finally consistent

    Lauren B, women's health physiotherapist

    ICIQ at baseline and repeated at review, every patient, captured as I take it. My notes finally show the change I'm achieving rather than a vague 'improved'. Reviews take seconds and read properly.

    ★★★★★

    My hands stay on the assessment

    Sade A, pelvic health physiotherapist

    I'm not breaking off a sensitive examination to type. I explain, I gain consent, I assess, and the record writes itself in the background. The patient gets my full attention at a moment that really needs it.

    ★★★★★

    Calmest service audit we've had

    Marguerite V, clinical lead pelvic health physiotherapist

    Consent, the chaperone offer and outcome measures on every record across the team. Our last CSP-standards audit was the smoothest we've run, the intimate-examination documentation we always worried about was simply there.

    Across a full pelvic health caseload, assessments, reviews and discharges, the consent for internal examination and the chaperone offer are on every record, alongside the outcome measures and goals that used to vanish when I was busy. My notes finally match the careful work I actually do.

    Pelvic health physiotherapist FAQs

    How do I document consent for an internal or intimate examination?

    As you explain the internal examination and the patient agrees, Note Dr records the consent in the note: what you explained, that the patient could stop at any time and that consent was gained before you proceeded. It is captured the moment you gain consent, so the record reflects the conversation. You review and approve.

    Is it safe to use an AI scribe during an intimate examination?

    Note Dr is designed to sit quietly alongside a sensitive appointment: transcription happens on your device, you tell the patient it is being used, and either of you can pause it at any point. It drafts the record, including that you gained consent and offered a chaperone, and you review and approve every note. Clinical judgement stays entirely with you.

    Will it record that I offered a chaperone?

    Yes. As you offer a chaperone and the patient accepts or declines, Note Dr captures the offer and the patient's decision in the note, at the time you make it. The chaperone offer is the single element these complaints most often turn on, so it reaches every relevant record, ready for you to approve.

    Can Note Dr capture my pelvic floor assessment findings?

    Yes. As you call out the modified Oxford scale grade, endurance, co-contraction and any prolapse staging such as POP-Q, Note Dr records your objective examination and your reasoning toward a working diagnosis. Your pelvic floor findings are captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory after the clinic.

    Does it record continence and prolapse outcome measures like the ICIQ?

    Yes. As you take a validated measure such as the ICIQ-UI Short Form, a bladder diary summary or POP-Q staging, Note Dr records it in your structured note, ready to repeat at review. An exact score is easy to lose once you write the record up between patients, and a review then has no baseline to measure progress against. You review and approve before saving.

    Can Note Dr document antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy reviews?

    Yes. Note Dr drafts antenatal and postnatal records the way pelvic health physiotherapists work, including an external-only assessment where that is the patient's preference, documented as such. As you cover pelvic floor muscle training, pelvic girdle pain advice, birth preparation or perineal care, it captures each element in a structured note, and you review and approve before saving.

    Does Note Dr integrate with my practice management system?

    Note Dr does not connect to your practice management system or patient record by design; it drafts the note and you paste or export the approved record into whichever system you use. That keeps the sensitive consultation on your device and puts you in control of exactly what reaches the record. Nothing is filed to the patient record without your review.

    Records that stand up in sensitive work

    Complete, watertight records for every pelvic health appointment, with consent and the chaperone offer documented, outcome measures and goals captured, all reviewed and approved by you.
