E-Rostering, Leave Approval, and Safe Staffing Levels Document history SOP (S154)
This SOP outlines the procedures for effective electronic rostering (e-rostering), leave approval, and ensuring compliance with safe staffing levels across the integrated sexual health service. It ensures that staffing levels are maintained to deliver safe, high-quality care while balancing fair and consistent access to leave for staff. This SOP applies to all staff working within the department including permanent, temporary, bank and agency staff.
Homely Remedies SOP (S16)
Under normal circumstances, medicines should be administered either on the written prescription of an authorised prescriber, in accordance with the Medicines Code or under the authority of a Patient Group Direction. The Medication Optimisation Safety Team (MOST) has approved a list of non-prescription medicines or “homely remedies” that registered nurses and registered practitioners are authorised to administer at their own discretion, in accordance with the attached standard operating procedure, for a maximum of 48 hours (extended to 72 hours over a bank holiday weekend). The homely remedies approved are treatments commonly available over the counter for minor, short-term conditions without the need for a prescription or Patient Group Direction.
