  Automatic summarisation has the potential to aid physicians in streamlining
clerical tasks such as note taking. But it is notoriously difficult to evaluate
these systems and demonstrate that they are safe to be used in a clinical
setting. To circumvent this issue, we propose a semi-automatic approach whereby
physicians post-edit generated notes before submitting them. We conduct a
preliminary study on the time saving of automatically generated consultation
notes with post-editing. Our evaluators are asked to listen to mock
consultations and to post-edit three generated notes. We time this and find
that it is faster than writing the note from scratch. We present insights and
lessons learnt from this experiment.
