NHS clinicians have brutal amounts of paperwork. That tends to be done out of sight of patients, but it's there.

Some things are helping: digital dictation; "mobile working" (community staff being able to do electronic paperwork on laptops in the car between appointments).

So do clinicians in our system. When a senior attending who is also a full professor in an academic medical center is still filing reports at 11pm on a Friday (not on service), something is rotten. Especially when that's every Friday.
