I don't want to talk about your specific case but I agree that if for instance we record a conversation/explanation in notes with a person or their family there is no reason why they shouldn't have a chance to verify it or have a section of notes for own entries

Brilliant.. I love that idea.. I think all statements conversations should be verified. It becomes a shock when you read things that never happened and why would they write such untruths and they are.. they are not their interpretations either...

It happens all the time though. ‘Your notes’ are a one-sided account of your condition/your interaction with staff. They are written with the aim of defending staff against future complaint, and as such often are pejorative about patients so as to justify staff.

John Clarke @C7RKYReplying to @sarasiobhan @NHSwhistleblowr and 10 othersI advise anyone who'll listen to record every medical consultation now. Helps to revisit oft difficult to remember conversations, it's our legal right & also the only way to ensure accurate notes are recorded... as it turns out. https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/683662528224845825 …4 replies 3 retweets 5 likes -

also been shown that even with clinical practitioners using all the approved good communication techniques, unrushed (with third party observation of consultation) patients (especially at stressful/bad news consultations) don't recall half of it so why not have a recording?

same with body cams for police - it protects BOTH parties. I have investigated or responded to complaints where people said no-one had spoken to them/or had told them things they never did say and being able to point to 3 hours of recorded conversation would help put them to bed

But do you see the imbalance there David. If a patient/relative makes a statement about clinician, it’s an alllegation yet to to be proven. If a clinician makes a statement about a Pt, it’s a ‘fact’

So true. Everything medics put down on papers seems to turn into fact straight away. The Police for instance will allegedly only work off the Hospitals paper work, and often disregard families version of events straight away as they are deemed lay-person complainants.

Sadly this is due to the court needing expert evidence they can use. People should be heard if they think this is not correct and this should be noted.

Agreed. Worth pointing out though that when it comes to whether or not you consented, medical expertise is not required per se. That's because if you're expected to understand info received as a lay person, (in order to consent to it), courts/police should be able to do the same.
