CPD - The CPD Certification Service

This MPS workshop has been developed to assist clinicians in making and keeping good quality medical records in order to provide the best possible patient care and therefore enabling a smooth handover from one member of the team to another. Complete contemporaneous and well organised medical records are essential for good medical practice and continuity of care. They are necessary for a healthcare professional’s defence against a claim or complaint and can be seen to reflect the quality of care provided. Although many hospital clinicians will be fully aware of the importance of good medical records it can be a challenge to find the time to put this into practice.
