Care staff shift notes: factual and limited
Shift notes should be factual, relevant and consistent with the agreed role.
Define the requirement
Shift notes should be factual, relevant and consistent with the agreed role. Non-clinical workers should not write diagnoses or make treatment recommendations. Clarify what needs direct escalation instead of waiting for the next written handover.
Put it into practice
Use a brief structure for completed tasks, observations and questions for the authorised contact. Keep the record private and avoid personal judgements. Have the responsible professional define any clinical documentation requirements rather than adapting a general household checklist for medical use.
