Don’t get caught out! Inadequate recording keeping is the most frequent reason that occupational therapists are reported to the HCPC. By attending this event facilitated by Henny Pearmain (author of Keeping Records RCOT’s recently updated publication) you can make sure your record keeping skills – digital or paper- are fit for practice comply with the HCPC Standards of Proficiency (HCPC 2013).
Do you know;
- How long should records be kept?
- How GDPR affects your record keeping?
- How to ensure your records comply with HCPC Standards of Practice?
- Who is responsible for recording delegated tasks?
Keeping records is an integral part of the practice of all practitioners in every sector. It is an absolute requirement as part of your duty of care, and must be completed in line with relevant legislation, the standards of your registration and professional bodies, and local policy. Your records are your evidence that you have met your duty of care within your practice, but the keeping of records is also part of that duty. Attendance on this day will help you to fulfil your duty of care and meet your standards as a registered professional.
