Description
Welcome to our CPD certified GDPR Course, designed with social care workers in mind. In the realm of healthcare, accurate and effective record-keeping stands as a cornerstone, facilitating seamless communication among professionals and directly influencing the quality of care delivered to individuals. The consequences of inadequate record-keeping are far-reaching, potentially leading to communication breakdowns and, subsequently, compromised care standards.
Throughout this course, we will explore the critical role of records in health and social care, elucidating the various types of records and their significance. Emphasis will be placed on the proficient use of reports, with a strong focus on maintaining confidentiality. You'll gain comprehensive insights into your professional and legal responsibilities, delve into the specifics of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and understand how exemplary record-keeping practices enhance the quality of care. Moreover, we'll examine the repercussions of negligence in this area, underlining the importance of vigilance and precision in all record-keeping activities.
