Interim Standard Operating procedure for delivering intravenous (IV) diuretics within a patient’s home (S106)
An Ambulatory Heart Failure (AHF) service has been delivered by DCHS, in partnership with UHDB, on a day case basis at the Royal Derby Hospital site since 2016. Treatment is given using Intravenous (IV) diuretics which can be given daily either following discharge from the acute hospital or referral from the community setting. The development of a Cardiology Virtual Ward has been discussed during 2022 which once implemented will see intravenous diuretics being administered to patients in their own home in addition to the existing AHF service. As an interim step and to support the transition away from hospital and to home delivery along with assisting University Hospitals Derby and Burton (UHDB) with current bed pressures; it has been proposed that one of 3 rooms currently used for AHF on CCU be converted back to a bedroom and a small number of patients receive their treatment at home instead. This will also help assess the process prior to commencing the virtual ward on a larger scale.

Covert Administration of Medicines Policy (P59)
The policy applies to patients who are being treated by Derbyshire Community Health Services Foundation Trust (DCHSFT) inpatient wards, units and pathway 2 care home beds where DCHS employed staff have medical accountability for residents. DCHSFT recognises and respects the autonomy of individuals who receive treatment. However there are times when severely incapacitated individuals in our care can neither consent nor refuse treatment and the use of covert medications may need to be considered. This policy applies to the administration of medicines for a physical disorder or a mental disorder under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and to medication for a mental disorder administered under Part 4 and Part 4A of the Mental Health Act 1983. Treatment of a physical condition can only be given under the Mental Health Act Part 4 if the condition is a symptom or manifestation of the mental disorder.
