Griffith (2015) links the professional and legislative aspects of record‐keeping very well.

To summarise, this brief overview of a selection of some Acts that relate to record‐keeping have been included for a good reason. It is to emphasise that all records that are made during the daily work of the nursing associate are compliant with the professional standards discussed earlier in this chapter as many of these Acts require that the record could be accessed historically. This means that a record that has been made today could be scrutinized at any time in the future; therefore, maintenance of a clear and accurate record is an essential aspect of the nursing associate’s role.
