Missing Patient Procedure Including Section 18 Concern for Safety and Welfare (S23)

This procedure has been developed to inform hospital staff what action to take when a detained patient is absent without leave from the hospital where they are liable to be detained under the Mental Health Act 1983. Guidance when an informal patient’s whereabouts is unknown and this includes patients that may be missing from other in-patient areas. The procedure aims to provide a consistent and easy to follow approach thus supporting the staff and protecting some of our most at risk and vulnerable patients.

Waiting Well Standard Operating Procedure (S115)

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has been developed to set out the expected clinical standards for DCHS and DHCFT by which we manage our access to services for people who are either not yet receiving a service from a specific team or who are awaiting this intervention. There will continue to be a DCHS and DHCFT policy and procedure due to systems and governance and to refer to the relevant one as appropriate. This SOP is to support the safety and well-being of service users (and those around them) who are waiting to access our services.

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.
