Recording Consultations
Whilst Beechwood Medical Practice cannot
place restrictions on a patient wishing to make
notes or a recording of a consultation or
conversation with a member of the clinical team
when it is felt absolutely necessary by the
patient to do so, we as a team expect that:
- Any recording is done openly and
honestly
- The recording process does not interfere
with the consultation process, or the
treatment or care being administered
- The patient is aware that an entry will
be made in their healthcare record that they
have recorded the consultation (or care
being provided)
- The patient understands the private and
confidential nature of the recording and
that it is their sole responsibility to
ensure it is kept safe and secure
- The recording is being made for personal
use only
- Any misuse of the recording, including
using it to harass, intimidate or threaten
Beechwood Medical Practice staff, may result
in criminal or civil proceedings
At the end of the consultation, the clinician
can ask the patient to provide a copy of the
record, if they wish, so that this can be added
to the patient’s healthcare record to form a
permanent record of the consultation and what
was discussed.
