Look after your bag, prescription pad and video ...

I have blogged about this before (click here for a previous blog about video security) but we have had another significant event where a trainees car was broken into and their medical bag and video camera were stolen from the boot of the car.

This exposes the trainee, trainer and practice to all kinds of unwanted attention.

• The theft of prescription pads has to be reported to the PCT as Serious Untoward Incident
• The theft of a video camera has to be reported to the PCT who then reported it to the Strategic Health Authority. Loss of tapes or cards with patient consultations on is another SUI
• There are issues about who is responsible for the loss of trainee medical bags.

So ....

Be very careful where you store cameras, bags and prescription pads, because if anything happens you are responsible for keeping them safe.
