Implementation of National Guidance Policy (P44)
All patients should have fair access to high quality care which is based on clear evidence of best practice. There are many examples of documents issued either by the Department of Health or bodies such as the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) which set out the requirements for organisations to follow either as mandatory targets or as best practice guidance and professional advice. This policy sets out the process for the dissemination and implementation of national guidance within Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust (DCHSFT). This policy aims to provide a clear process to ensure that national guidance for example NICE, Care Quality Commission Reviews, or NHS Improvement, are appropriately disseminated implemented and monitored across the organisation.

Falls Management Policy for use in Urgent Treatment Centres, Community and Outpatient settings (P32)
The Trust’s aim is to prevent harm resulting from falls that may occur by assessing each patient and identifying their individual risk and the interventions required. There is an expectation that clinicians who work in the community and who see patients in their own homes, extended care settings or in outpatient settings will use the policy framework as part of their everyday practice within DCHS. This policy incorporates key national guidance: - • NICE CG161 (2013) “Falls: the assessment and prevention of falls in older people • NICE Quality standards (2015) ‘Assessment after a fall and preventing further falls’. • NICE (2015) on ‘Head Injury: assessment and early management’ • BGS Fit for Frailty (2014) ‘Consensus best practice guidance for the care of older people living in community and outpatient settings’ • Public Health England (2019) ‘Preventing falls in people with learning disabilities: making reasonable adjustments’
0-19 Children’s Services Standard Operating Procedure (S92)
This Standard Operating Procedure gives an overview of the service provided by the 0-19 Children’s Community Services. It also supports a commitment to ensure evidence-based tools and training are embedded within practice, supporting the national commissioning for outcomes recommendations, and offering assurance that the service is focused on personalised and needs based care. This Standard Operating Procedure should be used in conjunction with other DCHS Childrens and DCHS Trust policies along with The NMC Code.
