Hopkirk, the problem is, we are not medically trained, its a residential home specialising in dementia, we all have first aid certificates and relevant training.
Some times a resident will fall, she gets up, no obvious injury, 2 or 3 days she gets huge black bruises on her bottom or arm or she starts limping, this frequently happens. If we have no record of the fall or the incident nobody will know where these bruises etc come from.
As carers, we must be totally accountable, we cant fart without recording it I promise you!
