Beam (formerly 'Magic Notes') Arvostelua 

So much time saved, you will regret not using it. It's a MUST.

I have found Magic notes to be a very useful tool as it allows me to provide my full attention to the individual that I am supporting during assessment rather than trying to write notes at the same time.
I also find that it captures the conversations held accurately and includes the key points discussed. I usually only need to make minor edits to ensure that the notes are more person-centred and reflect the individual's voice. Overall, it has greatly improved the quality of my assessments.

Since using Beam Notes, my caseload no longer feels overwhelming. It has significantly reduced the time I spend typing up case notes, allowing me to be more present with the people I support. I now have more time to focus on delivering meaningful care, which has made a real difference to my day-to-day practice.
The system has also helped me to organise my workload more effectively, making my day run more smoothly and efficiently. As a result, I no longer feel stressed about completing assessments on time. Overall, I feel more in control of my responsibilities and am enjoying my role much more.

Beam has saved me hours of paperwork. It has templates and records as needed. It works well for meetings and one-to-one, or even as a Dictaphone service. This has been a life saver and even when I babble and repeat myself, it just sorts it out and there is no repetition. Best ever.

Using Magic Notes/Beam has helped reduce the time it takes to type up my notes after a visit with a YP. I can record my own notes then when I return home/office I can have a quick read through and upload. It is a time saver.

I am an older Social Worker, so new tech takes more time to get used to - however using Beam has made notetaking and record keeping so much more efficient and easy to modify if needed. If I can use it, then anyone can !

Easy to use. Able to interact well with participants with Magic notes

It makes chairing LAC Reviews easy! No note taking just some careful amending to ensure that it is accurate and relates to the young person who is the subject of the review. I can do three reviews in one day and add the report to the system and it is done. It makes life and an IRO simpler and easier!

Beam notes saves considerable time ensuring that visits are correctly noted. It also is a safety net, ensuring that when service users deny stating something which happens frequently the notes can back up the worker.

My agency opening up the opportunity for us to access this for social workers has definitely significantly changes my work balance to something far more manageable.
The time required on recording/reporting has reduced to a high degree.

The system cuts down admin time.

It's easy to use, saves admin time.

i really enjoy using this tool, as it allows me to spend quality time speaking with my participants instead of having to try and focus on remembering everything that has been said for the entire hour's conversation. I also like that it also makes positive suggestions to help the participant progression based on conversation had in the meeting.

Excellent service , highly recommend , quick response to any issues, This has saved me so much time , and the team are happy to help with training , but it is so easy to use there is no real need for training .

Easy to capture the conversation between PT AND EA
Saves a lot of time having to type up all the notes

I find Beam very useful and helps me to focus on the meeting at hand. I can provide my direct report with my full attention and really home in on key aspects of any meeting. Absolutely love it!

Have just used Beam Notes for the first time and very impressed at how easy it is to set up and record meeting.
The minutes produced of the discussion - after just 5 mins or less - are comprehensive/detailed and split into headings/paragraphs addressing the different issues raised during the discussion - outcomes also clearly laid out. I look forward to exploring more options this service provides. Highly recommend it.

I was very sceptical about using Beam initially and was encouraged and supported by my manager to just "try it", well I have never looked back.
The notes are detailed, written in a professional and empathic manner, they write directly to the parent and child when asked to and save me so much admin time.
Thank You Beam is Amazing

Beam Notes in Adult Social Care – Practitioner Perspective.

I work in Adult Social Care within a newly established prevention team, where we have adopted Beam Notes alongside a bespoke template tailored to our service needs.
This template enables Beam Notes to securely record assessment visits conducted in individuals’ homes, with their consent. The impact of this has been significant. While Beam Notes captures the conversation, practitioners are able to focus entirely on engaging with the individual—ensuring that all relevant areas are explored thoroughly and that responses are captured naturally and accurately. This has noticeably improved rapport and the overall quality of interactions.
One of the key benefits is the time saved. Because Beam Notes produces structured outputs aligned to our template, the need for extensive write-up is greatly reduced. Although, like all AI tools, it requires practitioner oversight, accuracy checking, and some editing, the initial output is typically very accurate. As a result, finalising notes for entry into the case management system takes minimal time.
Another strength is that conversations can flow naturally. There is no need to follow a rigid questioning style, as Beam Notes intelligently organises and themes the content according to the selected template. This supports a more person-centred, natural dialogue during assessments.
I have used Beam Notes regularly on my mobile device during client visits and would highly recommend its use within Adult Social Care settings, particularly for community-based assessments.
It is worth noting that Beam Notes is sometimes described as an “app” in reviews; however, it is actually a web-based platform.

I find Beams very helpful. I was able to focus on the discussions during the visit without worrying about key information being missed. This is a must have for all.
