Questions

What goes in a private GP procedure note?

Indication, Consent, Procedure, Findings, Complications and Aftercare and follow-up. Each section on this page lists what belongs in it, written for private gp.

Is the worked example a real patient?

No. The consultation is invented for this page, and no real patient or record is used.

Does the scribe sign the note?

No. The scribe drafts the note from the consultation, and the clinician reads, corrects and signs it, with the time and the change from the draft kept on the record.

Can we use our own note structure?

Yes. Your clinic's own sections are set up once, and the scribe writes each consultation into them.

Come back to the note, written and ready to sign.
