Recording a day
Two routes, one set of figures. Nothing downstream can tell which route a day came from.
Paper route
The way most GPs use it.
- 1
Print a stack of sheets
One A4 landscape sheet a day — a quarter-hour grid from 07:00 to 19:00, contact tallies, day-type ticks and a 1–5 mental demand scale.
- 2
Mark the sheet as you go
Draw a line down the column you are working in. No patient details ever go on the sheet.
- 3
Photograph it at the end of the day
The camera lines up the four corner squares, checks the photo is sharp, and straightens the grid before reading it.
- 4
Check what it read
Anything the app is unsure of is flagged in amber for you to correct. Nothing is saved until you confirm.

Privacy
What a practice lead can and cannot see.
- • No patient identifiable information is recorded anywhere in the app.
- • A lead sees pooled practice totals, never a named colleague's diary.
- • Aggregates are withheld until enough clinicians have contributed.
- • A lead may upload a sheet on a colleague's behalf, but cannot then read it back.
