Medicine Code (S2)

This Code defines the roles and responsibilities of all health care professionals and ancillary staff involved in the ordering, storage, distribution, prescribing, dispensing and administration of medicines within DCHS. This Medicines Code extends the previous Medicines Codes and reviews them in light of current legislation and guidelines.

Prevent Policy (P46)

The overall aim of the policy is to make clear the duties, responsibilities, and arrangements in place to enable DCHS staff to safeguard and support individuals (children, young people, adults or staff); where it is suspected that the individual(s) is at risk of being drawn into terrorism or other forms of extremist activity. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults is everyone’s responsibility and this Policy sits alongside the DCHS Safeguarding Adults Policy and the DCHS Safeguarding Children’s Policy. The Counterterrorism and Security Act 2015 places a duty on certain bodies, including NHS Trusts, to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”; including a statutory responsibility to appoint a Prevent Lead and provide training for all staff. Healthcare staff have a key role in Prevent. Prevent focuses on working with individuals (patient’s and/or staff) who may be at risk of being exploited by radicalisers and subsequently drawn into terrorist related activity. Prevent does not require staff to do anything in addition to normal duties. Staff are expected to raise concerns about individuals who are being exploited in this way (DOH 2011).
