...and knowing that a conversation was being recorded, it might put me off, as a patient, asking what I'd fear might be construed as "daft questions". Not saying it would put me off, but it might.

recording should never be forced on patients or families, nor should having their own records, nor own health budgets nor having to access care digitally,. It should be a choice not an imposition. However, the quid pro quo is that the clinical notes ARE the record

‘Either we make an audio recording of your sensitive consultation, or we write a partisan, defensive account of the interaction’. Neither addresses the epistemic/power imbalance that affect care records

Well, to be fair, that works both ways. What's to stop me, as a patient, making up stuff about what went on in a consultation, and telling it to an "ambulance chasing" lawyer? I wouldn't, of course, but some might.

Nothing (well apart from being labelled as a malicious complainant etc in your notes). And as observed above, untrue allegations by patients at treated as allegations, and staff are presumed innocent. Untrue allegations by staff are presumed fact. Hence the power imbalance

Then I guess the suggestion of audio recording (with consent of both parties) of consultations probably makes sense.

Consent of both parties is ideal and imho, preferred. But only the patient's consent is strictly necessary.

There’s a lot of professionals who are ignorant about this. Patients don’t need the consent of staff, nor do they need to be informed of recording.

You're absolutely right. Many don't appreciate that the physical records legally belong to the SOS for Health, but the data they contain belongs to us. It was that very lack of understanding which prompted MDU to write that clarification piece. (Later hidden behind a paywall).

Their focus is family law, and therefore mainly deal with issues that affect social work rather than healthcare, but there is overlap
