How to Use the Mental Health Notes Assistant

This tool helps GPs and Mental Health Nurses create clear, structured mental health consultation notes.
It supports documentation only.
You remain responsible for the final clinical record.


What This Tool Does

  • Expands short clinical inputs into clear consultation notes
  • Keeps language professional and straightforward
  • Always places Notes before Intervention
  • Generates interventions only from the codes you enter
  • Leaves out anything you do not provide

The tool does not guess or fill gaps.


What to Enter

You can enter as little or as much information as you want.


1. Presenting Issue

Write a short description of why the patient was seen.

Examples:

  • worried anxiety
  • low mood after breakup
  • panic at work

Short phrases are fine.


2. Additional Notes (Optional)

You can add:

  • Symptoms
  • Triggers or stressors
  • Brief risk statements
  • Coping strategies
  • Any clinical context you want reflected

Only the information you type will appear in the notes.


3. Intervention Codes

Enter the intervention numbers that match what you provided in the session.

✅ You can enter codes with or without “MHC”.

All of the following are valid:

  • 4,12
  • 1,13
  • MHC 2,5
  • mhc 9

Spaces do not matter.

Only the numbers are used.


What the Codes Do

Each number triggers a matching intervention paragraph.
If you do not enter a code, no Intervention section is created.
