Standard Operating Procedure for DCHS Wound Clinics (S68)
Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) Integrated Community Services (ICS) provides a Wound Care service in clinics across Derbyshire for non-housebound patients. The service continues to evolve in response to evidence-based practice and patient need. The service actively promotes supported care, enabling patients to manage their own wounds, offering wound assessments and reviews via a range of mediums including face to face, telephone or video consultations. These approaches facilitate a more flexible service, support improved access to care and reduce the need for patients to travel to clinics if it is not necessary. The DCHS Wound Clinic Standard Operating Procedure has been developed to support the management of the clinics and the processes that should be adopted to facilitate the safe and effective management of patient care. This procedure will support the consistent management of patient care.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Resuscitation Training Policy (P41)

Standard Operating Procedure for seated patient lifting device in community settings following a fall (S96)
This standard operating procedure sets out the process by which clinicians working within Integrated Community Services are able to utilise a seated lifting device (e.g. Mangar Elk or Camel) to support patients who have fallen in their home environment. This will prevent long lies and use of emergency ambulance personnel for retrieval only. The aim of this procedure is to support clinicians to: • Understand the purpose and use of the device • Ensure the response using the device is appropriate. • Ensure clinical documentation is properly completed.
