This podcast of the Future Leaders Communiqué presents a case based on an inquest into the death of a six-year-old boy from a readily treatable illness due to inadequate documentation, poor communication, and sub-standard care.
The content of the podcast is based on our October 2020 print edition with Dr Samantha Walker as guest editor. In this podcast we explore what the quality of clinical documentation and handover reveals about the treating team, and how improving it will reflect better on our professionalism, in addition to helping our patients.
