Missing from Known Address Policy (P71)
The purpose of the Missing Children and family Alert (MCFA) process is to locate pregnant women and children who have disappeared from view following an undisclosed change of address and for whom there may be concerns about child welfare in respect of unmet need, vulnerability or abuse. Working Together to Safeguard Children (HM Government 2018) identifies that all children should be safeguarded and have their welfare promoted. This Policy is aimed at DCHS Services that hold a child caseload.
Electronic Prescribing in the Community SOP (S77)
The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to outline the steps required for community prescribers to utilise the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS – also known as ETP2). EPS enables community prescribers to transfer prescriptions electronically to the patient’s nominated pharmacy via the Spine which can then be collected without the need for a paper prescription.
