3rd party not necessary. Some measures can prevent amendment, but the greatest protection comes from ensuring that the form makes it clear the pt should take their copy immediately after signing it, imho. Can't switch/amend it unnoticed, if the patient has a copy at home.

1/2 How does 'give the patient a copy' work for patients who are in hospital, in the context of your 'staff cover-ups' issue? And - coming back today and about to trawl '100+ notifications' - I honestly think you are wrong - lots of 'cock-ups' yes, and manypic.twitter.com/kwfiwl7vtw

2/2 NHS staff [probably justifiably I suspect] become 'very defensive and self-protective' during 'investigations', but I don't there is much deliberate 'wrong-doing and cover-up' within NHS doctors and nurses.

1/2 Actually, you're right about those isolated in hospital in this regard. I know of 1 individual who had consent form taken from bedside cabinet, so no protection there. Would still help large majority of pts though, so worth doing anyway, as no downside I can see.

2/2 But you're absolutely wrong to dismiss what's going on as just cock-ups. Scale is a question, but this is premeditated. And you should look around twitter a little more before deciding there's not much deliberate cover-up in the NHS. I'm afraid you're wrong about that too.

'look around twitter' - nooo! I'm sticking to my 'more cock-up than conspiracy' re clinicians: now, if you ask me about government policy, and might there be ulterior motives - a different question, entirely.

I'll perhaps ask you again in a year or so, when you've encountered more of us. You're a welcome addition to twitter. I'm glad
@DrMarkTaubert suggested you join. Now we just need a whip-round to get you online at home, so we don't have to wait for you to get to the library! :)2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
Can you currently post URLs in your tweets? I've had intermittent issues with that for days, and the problem is now also afflicting

Twitter can be fickle sometimes. I assume you're on a PC? A refresh of the tab, or even a cut & paste into a new window entirely may help sometimes, but not always.

Case of 'not' I'm afraid - and it does seem to be something that only started last week. Typically at the moment can't paste URLs using my own laptop and library WiFi - perhaps can paste later, when I'm using wired-in library computers. But - annoying!

Infuriating, I realise. As I said... fickle.
