Standard Operating Procedure for Waiting List Validation (S108)
The purpose of this SOP is to set out the waiting list validation stages and process for staff and managers with services that have waiting lists. Across Planned Care and Specialist Services (PCSS) there are patients on waiting lists. To support the management of these waiting lists it is important to regularly validate those patients who are waiting to be offered an appointment. Services with waiting lists should consider the appropriateness and frequency of undertaking the three stages of waiting list validation, these being: technical, administrative, and clinical.

Patient Access and Safe Waiting Policy (P108)
This policy provides guidance for staff to ensure all patients who require access to all clinical services provided by Derbyshire Community Health Services are managed consistently, according to national and local frameworks and definitions. This policy describes the structure of the access route for patients and generic rules which apply across all Divisions across the Trust as well as actions that should be taken to ensure patients are kept safe while they wait. Successful implementation of this policy will also provide assurance that the Trust understands the risks that waiting for treatment can pose to patients and is taking steps to mitigate against these risks.
