Defensible Documentation

Usually offered as an in-house workshop or training and 1:1 coaching, this virtual workshop is an opportunity for organisations to send staff to discuss effective methods of record keeping, and learn the leading method to document professional, legal and competent progress notes. Each workshop is limited to 20 participants.
This workshop covers:

- Practice writing defensible notes
This workshop is in partnership with Preventing Harm Initiative (PHI) and facilitated by Donny Raets. Donny's expertise is in creating manageable ways to identify, report, investigate and most importantly, how to prevent or reduce the likelihood of incident recurrence.
