Abstract

The 1995 Audit Commission report, “Setting the Record Straight- A study of hospital medical records,” criticised the poor standard of NHS record keeping. A retrospective audit of documentation of patients undergoing a closed manipulation of distal radius fractures (Colles type) in the Accident and Emergency department of the Queen Alexandra Hospital revealed that note keeping still needs to be improved. Only 15% of patients had adequate documentation.

The abstracts were prepared by Secretary Mr K Trimble.
