SOP For Designated Staff Accepting Influenza Vaccines Delivered from Walton Hospital Pharmacy Across Nominated DCHS Sites (S100)
Flu vaccination is offered to DCHS staff annually. Supplies are delivered directly to Walton Hospital Pharmacy, from where they need to be distributed to sites in a number of locations across Derbyshire prior to use. Flu vaccines require cold storage, in line with the product license. It is important to maintain the cold chain at all times as temperature excursions can adversely affect stability of the product. To set out a clear process for staff receiving deliveries of flu vaccinations in DCHS from Walton Hospital Pharmacy to ensure the cold chain is maintained and staff know what to do in the event of any breach.

Child Visiting Policy (P18)
The aim of this policy is to provide a process for staff when facilitating visits by a child/ren to (Derbyshire Community Health Services FT) DCHS inpatient and day case services, including services where patients are detained under the Mental Health Act (1983). Maintaining effective family contact and dynamics has been shown to often be crucial for a full recovery for people with mental health problems. Health professionals must be aware that the needs of the child come first, and they must not be put at significant risk of harm. Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) sets out how organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in accordance with Section 11 of the Children Act 2004. All health professionals and organisations have a key role to play in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Many DCHS services do not directly work with children; staff working within these services may indirectly become involved in the welfare of child visitors as part of their daily case management.
