Abstract
Medical records are very often treated by medical staff as an additional, unpleasant and unnecessary duty. However, it is currently the basic, undeniable source of defence against all claims of patients, both formal, regarding the correctness of the records, and substantive, related to the allegations of medical malpractice during the provision of medical services.
Key words:
medical records, malpractice, patient rights, GDPR, responsibilities of a physiotherapist
