Aged Care Educator provides informative, evidence-based, person-centred education for all who work in aged care, or who care for the elderly in any capacity. With a wealth of experience and knowledge, our team aim to provide up to date short education sessions that encourage you to keep learning and provide the best care possible for our precious elders.
So let's get right into it. One thing I have noticed in aged care, and often nursing in general, is that a lot of staff don't really know how to write notes. Electronic systems take away a lot of the need for notes, but even then, you still need to have good record keeping when something out of the ordinary happens. You never know when your notes might be part of an investigation, or a complaint, so it's really important to be able to write relevant and accurate notes. This presentation looks at the basics of writing a progress note or incident report.
We welcome any suggestions for topics, so if there's something that you find challenging, or would like more information, please drop us a line and we will do a review of the latest literature for you!
