DCHS Clinical Strategy
Drug Fridge and Freezer Temperature Monitoring Procedure (S48)
A clear standard procedure to assist and enable ward/unit staff to comply with the Medicines Code requirement to routinely monitor, record and act on drug fridge and freezer temperatures thus ensuring that patients receive effective, correctly stored refrigerated products.
Transcribing Medicines including Insulin for Patients in their Own Homes (Including Care Homes) and within the Short Breaks Service SOP (S29)
This procedure sets out how to record medicine administration, which will make use of transcribing as detailed in the above document.
Patient Manual Handling Policy (P76)
This policy describes how the Trust will comply and maintain compliance with the regulations. It will ensure that the Trust actively reduces the risk of injury from the moving and handling of patients and thereby reduce the incidence of patient injuries, and of musculoskeletal disorders within the staff population working in the clinical setting of the Trust.
Children’s Services Immunisation Policy 0-19 Years (P2)
The current immunisation schedule has been designed to provide early protection against infections that are most dangerous for the very young. This is particularly important for diseases such as whooping cough, pneumococcal, Hib and meningococcal serogroup C infection. Providing subsequent immunisations and booster doses ensures continued protection against these diseases. Additional vaccinations are offered at specific points throughout the child, young person, and adult’s life to provide protection against infections before they reach an age at which they become at increased risk from certain vaccine-preventable diseases. Recommendations for the age at which vaccines should be administered are therefore informed by the age-specific risk for a disease, the risk of disease complications and the ability to respond to the vaccine. The recommended immunisation schedule should therefore be followed as closely as possible. Health Care professionals employed by Derbyshire Community Services Foundation Trust (DCHSFT) have a responsibility to promote the benefits of immunisation in a consistent, clear and evidence based way to parents, carers, and young people. The overarching aim of the policy is to therefore support practitioners to fulfil the requirements of their commissioned role in delivering the national universal childhood immunisation programme, alongside any targeted immunisation schedules safely and competently.
