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.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for The T34 and Bodyguard Syringe Drivers (S61)

A subcutaneous infusion pump is an effective method of administering therapeutic drugs via subcutaneous route, which can no longer be tolerated orally or rectally by the patient. The aim of this SOP is to provide guidance for staff in the use of the McKinley T34 pump across adult services. Using a uniform SOP will reduce the level of risks associated with syringe pump management within DCHS.

Deprivation of Liberty DoLs Policy (P35)

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 aims to empower people to make decisions themselves wherever possible and sets out the steps which must be taken to promote this. Where a person lacks the capacity to make a particular decision it provides a statutory framework for acting and making decisions on their behalf, and in their best interests (see the DCHS Mental Capacity Act Policy and Appendix 3 Tips on assessing capacity) The Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) is an addendum to the Mental Capacity Act (2005) that came into force in 2009. It ensures that any Best Interests decision that deprives someone of their Article 5 right to liberty (European Convention of Human Rights) is made according to defined processes and in consultation with specific authorities. It applies where a person needs to be accommodated in a hospital or a care home in order to receive care or treatment for which they cannot consent. The DoLS were introduced to protect an individual’s rights under such circumstances, and ensure that any care or treatment that they receive, including where this involves the use of restraint or restrictions, is proportionate to the risk of harm they would otherwise be at and in their best interests.

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.

Remote Consultation (telehealth) – Standard Operating Procedure Planned Care and Specialist Services (S120)

This standard operating procedure sets out the process by which we will determine, for each patient, for each contact, when it is safe and effective to offer a remote consultation, and when a face to face consultation will be needed. This will ensure that all patients who wish to access remote consultation are able to do so equitably, based on clear clinical decision making.
