Promotion and Management of Continence for Adult Services Policy (P10)

This policy aims to identify a framework for the standards of care and best practice for bladder, bowel and continence promotion. The range of multidisciplinary professionals involved in continence care is diverse, and it is therefore essential that a continence service delivers integrated working practices across organisational and professional boundaries in order to provide effective care and efficient use of resource. The information detailed within this document will assist healthcare professionals who are undertaking a continence assessment and sets the standards of care for patients who present with a bladder or bowel problem. The continence advisory service aims to provide a quality service to all adults registered with a Derbyshire or Derby City GP. People with continence needs should be seen at the most appropriate time by the most appropriate professional. Excellence in continence care (2018) suggests that the initial assessment is best undertaken by staff trained in continence care within in a community setting, the provision of a high-quality assessment is the foundation of high-quality continence care.

Standard Operating Procedure for DCHS Wound Clinics (S68)

Derbyshire Community Health Services (DCHS) Integrated Community Services (ICS) provides a Wound Care service in clinics across Derbyshire for non-housebound patients. The service continues to evolve in response to evidence-based practice and patient need. The service actively promotes supported care, enabling patients to manage their own wounds, offering wound assessments and reviews via a range of mediums including face to face, telephone or video consultations. These approaches facilitate a more flexible service, support improved access to care and reduce the need for patients to travel to clinics if it is not necessary. The DCHS Wound Clinic Standard Operating Procedure has been developed to support the management of the clinics and the processes that should be adopted to facilitate the safe and effective management of patient care. This procedure will support the consistent management of patient care.

Consent Policy (P42)

Consent is a fundamental part of the relationship between NHS staff who deliver care and treatment and the adults, young people and children who access services in the NHS for their care and treatment. “Consent to treatment means a person must give permission before they receive any type of medical treatment, test or examination. Consent from a patient is needed regardless of the procedure, [and the] principle of consent is an important part of medical ethics and international human rights law” (NHS: 2019). “A healthcare professional (or other healthcare staff) who does not respect this principle may be liable both to legal action by the patient and to action by their professional body. Employing bodies may also be liable for the actions of their staff” (DH 2009:5). The aim of this policy is to set out the principles, practice and responsibilities of Trust staff when seeking consent for assessment, examination, intervention (surgical and non-surgical), investigation, treatment and investigative images and recordings.
