My local hosp put up signs to say they’d prosecute anyone recording after a secret recording exposed poor care.

Prosecute them with what, I wonder? The key to our right to record seems to be based on the fact that it's our data under discussion during consultations. And nobody can prevent us from recording our own data. Outside of that confine, I'm less sure on the situation though.

I do not understand why at the end of every consultation a copy of it doesn’t go into the notes & a copy to patient. Protects everybody.

I sense a growing support for that idea on both sides. Currently, medical records are at the heart of what is deemed to be the truth. But when one side only holds them, that 'truth' has a horribly frequent habit of changing. I already record every one, so I'm in!

Many communication issues would be resolved, IMO, if people had the opportunity to play what was said, rather than rely on the recollection of what they felt.

100% with you. I started recording for accuracy of records tbh, but I quickly realised how valuable it was to be able to listen back to consultations after the event. It's a lot less work than taking extensive contemporaneous notes & harder to dispute. Protects all parties.

What is the reponse of staff when you start recording? Do you ask their permission first? Do any object? Trying to imagine the dynamics

I actually don't ask permission, but only because I feel it would be disingenuous, given I'm going to record anyway. Bit like asking for consent to treatment then doing something else instead (don't start me). So more inform them openly than ask. Not had a single objection yet.

I usually get objections - maybe because staff in mental health settings are generally more suspicious of their clients, stigma maybe. Now I leave it up to managers to ensure anyone working with me knows I will probably be recording them.

On the rare occasion I do inform them now eg if I think I might be treated badly & want to prevent it in advance. I say that I'm just letting them know I will be recording the appointment in line with data protection act regulations. I don't get drawn into discussion about it.

"If I think I might be treated badly & want to prevent it in advance." Sad, but true reality of how those who understand the inner workings of our healthcare system have to think. And this really is well-considered thinking, imho.
