North Derbyshire OPAT (Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy) Pathway for Primary Care (Step-Up Pathway/Admission Avoidance) (G198)

OPAT services provide intravenous (IV) antibiotics to patients outside of the acute hospital inpatient setting. Patients who are otherwise medically fit, and who would otherwise require a hospital bed, can avoid admission to hospital, or be discharged sooner by receiving treatment either as an outpatient or within their own homes. In North Derbyshire, this is achieved by Chesterfield Royal Hospital Foundation Trust (CRHFT) working in partnership with Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) Rapid Response Team (RRT).

Verification of Adult Death Policy (P51)

When a person dies, a number of steps need to be completed to allow legal registration of the death and for a funeral to take place: 1. Confirmation of the fact of death. 2. Certification of the medical cause of death or referral to the Coroner. 3. Registration of the Death. Obtaining a burial or cremation order. The aim of this policy is to provide a framework for the timely verification of adult deaths by competent registered clinicians. It will enable staff to care appropriately for the deceased and minimise distress for families and carers following a death. Timely verification – within one hour in a hospital setting and within four hours in a community setting – is an important stage in the grieving process for relatives and carers and also a key time for support (Wilson et al, 2017).

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.
