have to form part of the record. Add it to the paper record then send it on if they have left. Or scan the lot in and add to the electronic record. The next Climbie case will no doubt have a GP being castigated for not reading the whole of one of these and noting something on p26 which was important. Alternatively, send it back to the originator and ask for a one page summary for the medical record Trefor _____ From: GP-UK [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Dr Laurie Slater Sent: 10 March 2008 15:48 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Case conference reports I have just received a 30 page report from the Review and Quality Assureance Unit of my borough's Children's Trust. Misguided, but undoubtedly well intended, each page was full top to bottom with print but I have yet to extract any useful information from it. The whole family have not been seen in the area for over 6 months and clearly do not live here anymore. However, if they had been and were still under my care, what happens to the actual report? If it was intended to be filed in the patient(s) record (and I am not at all sure that it should) this would need scanning 1 page at a time. What you do with these? Laurie
