Mandela Day at Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Johannesburg. ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to Rainbows and Smiles Foundation for welcoming and allowing MEDRISK and drlegal.south_africa to be part of such a meaningful initiative.
It was an honour to give back alongside an organisation that brings so much hope and joy to children and their families.

Together, we are reminded that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a lasting difference. 💙📚

Last Saturday, we had the privilege of attending the 33rd Congress of the Society of Neurosurgeons of South Africa 2026. 🧠🇿🇦

We were especially proud to sponsor the Lunch Symposium and contribute to this important gathering of professionals. Networking with the neurosurgical community was, as always, a wonderful experience—filled with meaningful conversations, valuable insights and opportunities to strengthen relationships within the profession.

Thank you to everyone who connected with the MEDRISK and drlegal.south_africa team. We look forward to continuing to support South Africa’s neurosurgical community. 🤝

Your notes = your defence. ⚖️📂
The Health Professions Council of South Africa requires records to be clear, complete and contemporaneous.
In a claim or inquiry…
If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen. 🚨

Protect your patients.
Protect your practice.
Protect your reputation. 🛡️

Follow for insights that keep you covered.

If it’s not written down… it didn’t happen. ⚖️📂

Too many healthcare professionals rely on memory when what protects you is documentation.

When a complaint is lodged with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, they don’t assess your intention first — they assess your records. 📝

Your notes must be:
✔️ Contemporaneous (done at the time of consultation)
✔️ Clear and legible
✔️ Complete and accurate
✔️ Properly signed and dated
✔️ Any late entry clearly marked and explained

Altering records without proper notation? 🚨
That can damage your credibility instantly.

Good notes are not admin.
They are your first line of medico-legal defence. 🛡️

Protect your patients.
Protect your practice.
Protect your registration.

Follow Medrisk for practical l insights every SA healthcare professional should know.
