It was a pleasure to speak about Ambient AI Notetaking in Podiatry at the conference. Below are the key points and resources to help you explore it further.
🎯 Key Messages

🔗 Try It Yourself
Heidi offers a free tier (unlimited notes and 10 outputs/month) or £49 month per user and a full 30-day trial via this link. No credit card required to set up. These systems alongside your electronic notes systems so you don’t enter patient details until you see a patient.

- Motics.ai – £49/month – also no credit card needed to set up
🔒 Compliance & Safety
Heidi meets all UK clinical standards:

Your data remains private and secure. It is not used to train the AI.

Better Notes, Better Care: How Ambient AI Transformed My Practice
For years, I accepted that late-night notes, forgotten follow-ups, and rushed letters were inevitable. But Ambient AI changed that. These tools:
- Listen live during consultations
- Draft structured notes in real time
- Filter out irrelevant chat
- Let you edit and approve instantly
- Create letters, summaries, tasks and billing codes
Real Example
Before:
“R/F PF – heel pain worse in morning. NCF. Ball rolling. Consider slim flex blue in 1 month.”
After with Heidi:
“Nail care performed. Also reported plantar fasciitis. Trialled orthotics. Laser therapy initiated. Aftercare and plan provided. Follow-up booking link included.”
That summary was emailed to the patient within minutes — and it reflected the entire conversation accurately.
Built for UK Healthcare
Unlike general AI tools like ChatGPT, these platforms are:
- Fully NHS & GDPR compliant
- Built for clinical use and patient safety
- Secure, encrypted, and under your control
They even filter out your gossip.
Government Support
In April 2025, the UK Government formally endorsed Ambient AI for NHS use. GOSH and national trials showed:
- Reduced admin time
- Improved documentation quality
- More meaningful clinician-patient interaction
🚀 Want to Try It?
- Free trials available
- 100s of preformed or community templates for podiatry, MSK, GP, physio, sports. Create or adapt your own from your forms and templates.
- Works with or without integration (e.g. Cliniko)
- Use it ambiently, via dictation, or import typed/written/recorded notes
Final Thoughts
- 🕒 Reclaim your time
- 🧠 Think and document more clearly
- 📣 Improve care, communication, and compliance
“I wished for my notes to be clear,
Done quickly, and with less fear.
The genie replied,
‘I’m already inside —
Just speak, and I’ll make it appear.’”
