Summary

Nursing Notes does not collect, store or send any information about patients or about you. Everything you type stays in your browser tab and disappears when you clear the form, close the tab or reload the page.

Who we are

Nursing Notes is provided by West Midlands Evidence Based Emergency Medicine Ltd (trading as EM Evidence), a company registered in England and Wales, company number 16644703, registered office 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. Contact: hello@emevidence.org.

What the app does with your information

• Note content: the answers you enter are held in memory only, to build the note on screen. They are never saved to the device, sent to us or sent to anyone else. Copying a note puts it on your device's clipboard, which you control.
• Patient details: please don't enter any. The app warns you if free text looks like it contains an NHS number, phone number, postcode, email address, or a name with a title, but it cannot catch everything.
• Preferences: your light/dark choice, your preferred note layout, the names of the note types you used most recently and, if you type it, your role label (for example "Staff nurse") are kept in your browser's local storage on this device so you don't have to re-enter them. None of these contain patient information. You can clear them by clearing the site's data in your browser.
• Offline use: the app's own files (pages, styles, scripts and icons) are cached by your browser so it works without a signal. No personal data is cached.
• No analytics, adverts, cookies, accounts or tracking.

Hosting

The app is hosted by Netlify, which, like any web host, processes standard technical information (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the pages and keep the service secure. The EM Evidence logo is loaded from GitHub. Neither receives anything you type into the app.

Your rights

Because we hold no personal data from the app, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. You can contact us with any questions, and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Clinical use

Nursing Notes is an educational aid that helps structure documentation. It does not make clinical decisions, and it does not replace your professional judgement, your organisation's policies or its record-keeping requirements. Check every note before you file it.
