Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for The T34 and Bodyguard Syringe Drivers (S61)
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.
Prevention and Management Pressure Ulcer Policy (P36)
This policy outlines the Trust’s approach for the prevention of pressure ulcers in people under the care of DCHS clinicians. It encompasses the appropriate management for the prevention of pressure ulcers as well as the management of patients with ulcers already present. This policy and the supporting guidelines place an emphasis on a collaborative integrated multidisciplinary, multiagency approach to identifying risk factors and the implementation of appropriate preventative and/or treatment measures in a timely manner.
Derbyshire Children’s Continence Service Level 2 policy (P91)
The policy will work in conjunction with NICE guidance for constipation and nocturnal enuresis (NICE 2010a 2010b). This guideline is to provide direction and guidance to staff; however, deviation is dependent on professional judgement. This guidance aims to support the Derbyshire Children’s Continence Service Level 2 in delivering a continence service within localities. This guide will ensure standardised practice to support reducing inequalities of service across Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS FT, Chesterfield Royal Hospital FT and Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT.
Compression Hosiery Formulary Guideline (G214)
The aim of this document is to help health care practitioners to make an informed decision with the patient when managing limb conditions

To provide information about the practical help and support that is available to patients of DCHS who are currently experiencing domestic abuse or are experiencing trauma as a result of their past experiences of abuse.
