Note Dr listens to the appointment as it happens. While you take the bloods, run the checks and reassure the patient, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the task and your eyes stay off the keyboard.
The delegated task, on record
Who asked you to do it, what you were asked to do and that you worked within your scope, captured as the appointment happens, not reconstructed later.
Abnormal findings escalated
The reading that was out of range, that you flagged it, who you flagged it to and who now owns the next action, the gap claims reviews see most.
Chaperone recorded by name
That a chaperone was offered, who was present and that they stayed throughout, written the moment the examination begins.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the delegated task, the readings, the escalation and the chaperone, where studies and claims reviews show conventional primary-care records routinely fall short, especially on acting on abnormal results and recording safety-netting.
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).
Ask what you recorded last time, what you escalated, or who owns the result, answered in seconds from the patient's own record.
Walk into the recall already knowing what was flagged, without trawling the notes.
When a check calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance and thresholds practices work to, from the NMC Code on contemporaneous records to NICE guidance on hypertension and suspected cancer safety-netting, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with the clinician you escalate to.

★★★★★
What I escalated is finally on record
I always told the GP when a reading was high, but it didn't always make the note. Now the flag, who I told and what we booked is right there. I check it and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
The chaperone is never missed
Recording who chaperoned used to be the thing I forgot when clinic ran late. Now the chaperone is named in every examination note, which is exactly where my exposure was. It writes it as the check begins.
★★★★★
Bloods all accounted for
Forty patients through a phlebotomy clinic and every sample is logged, site, attempts, where it went. The request I worked to is on the record too, so it is clear I stayed within what I was asked to do.
★★★★★
Stays inside my scope
It records what I did and that I handed the ECG to the GP to interpret, not me. The note makes the line between my task and the clinical decision obvious, which is exactly how I work.
★★★★★
Calmest notes review we have had
Contemporaneous records across the whole HCA team, with escalations, consent and chaperones on every clinic. Our last notes review was the smoothest we have run, the records already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full day of clinics, health checks, bloods, observations and recalls, every record now reads to the same standard, with the escalations and chaperones that used to slip when I was busy. The note makes it clear what I was asked to do, what I found and who I handed it to.

Yes — healthcare assistants can use an AI scribe for the delegated tasks they already document, from NHS Health Checks and phlebotomy to observations and ECGs. Note Dr drafts the record as the appointment happens, within the task you were given. You review and approve every note, and your practice's delegation and countersigning arrangements stay exactly as they are.
Yes — record keeping is routinely delegated to healthcare assistants in UK general practice, provided the entry sits within your delegated role and competence. Note Dr supports exactly that: it drafts the entry as the appointment happens — the task you were asked to do, the readings, any escalation and the chaperone — and you review and approve it, so the record is yours, not the software's.
An AI scribe does not change your practice's countersigning policy. Note Dr drafts the entry, you check it against what you did and approve it, and where your practice asks a registered professional to countersign an HCA entry, the approved note follows that route. The difference is the draft arrives complete — the delegated task, readings and any escalation already in place.
Yes — Note Dr works alongside EMIS Web, SystmOne and whichever clinical system your practice runs. You approve the note, then copy it straight into the patient record; there is no integration to install and nothing for the practice to configure. Transcription happens on the device, and the approved wording is yours to place in the record.
It records who delegated the task, the consent you took and what you did within your scope. For phlebotomy it captures the site, attempts and samples sent; for a health check, the observations, measurements and bloods. You review and approve before it reaches the record.
Note Dr documents the task you were delegated and the care you delivered, and records where you handed a clinical decision back, such as an ECG passed to the GP to interpret. It never makes clinical decisions for you; the note simply shows the line between your task and the clinician's judgement.
Yes. As you offer a chaperone and one is present, Note Dr records that a chaperone was offered, who was in the room by name and that they stayed throughout the examination. It is written the moment the examination begins, so your record reflects exactly who was there.
