At the Royal College of Podiatry we feel that good record keeping is incredibly important. So important that we have decided to run this event for free to members.

This is a live interactive online course which will be held between 9.30am (registration)and 2.45pm via MS Teams.

Throughout the day we will extensively look at the Royal College of Podiatry's Record Keeping and Consent Standards. It is an interactive day which will cover:

how to write good patient notes
the legal requirements surrounding patient notes
how to audit your own patient notes
consent for treatment
facts and figures regarding litigation
plus there is a section on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

If you do not comply with the RCPod Clinical Standards then you may leave yourself potentially uninsured and wide open to criticism by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) should an allegation be made against you, or the patient notes will not be defensible in court.

This course is usually over-subscribed so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Who can attend this course:

Podiatrists
Podiatry students
Assistant practitioners
Practice managers and administrators
