Course Overview

This course aims to ensure the learner is able to complete all required documentation within care so that it complies with both legal and organisational requirements.SUMMARYCare records are legal documents, and may at any time be used in investigations pertaining to the provision of care, adverse incidents, those providing the service or for audit purposes. Figures from the NHSLA Annual Report for 09/10 show that the total costs paid out in this period in relation to clinical negligence schemes was almost £787 million. It is the third year in succession that the figure has risen; £633 million and £769 million were paid out in 07/09 and 08/09 respectively (NHSLA 2010). According to Wood (2010), in medical law, if a care procedure has not been documented then it has not occurred.
