About this course
It is essential that documentation within our health service is adequate to allow for clear comprehensive communication and to satisfy GDPR requirements.
This one-day intensive training programme will equip delegates with the necessary knowledge and skills to create clinical records and reports that adhere to best practice standards, that comply with GDPR requirements and that will stand up to legal scrutiny.
Course Syllabus
An intensive and highly practical training day, delivered by qualified lawyers. This course will focus firstly on analysing why clinical records are kept and best practice standards in maintenance of good records in compliance with GDPR requirements. It will then look at where professionals fit into the legal system and how their records and reports can be used as evidence in a court hearing. It then goes on to assist attendees in understanding what is required from reports.
This course also considers the content of reports by considering the source and weight of evidence to be included and learning to distinguish between facts, inference and opinion. It considers the type and format of reports. Organisations may submit sample reports from a fictional or completed case in advance of the training. The trainer will review these reports and give feedback to attendees on the day.
