Management of Under Nutrition in Adults (G43)
The aim of the guidelines is to ensure effective patient centred oral nutrition support in Derbyshire by promoting a fortified diet and appropriate, effective ONS prescribing.
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.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Protocol for Podiatrists (S22)
The purpose of this document is to provide an evidence based approach to the diagnosis and podiatric management of PAD and in particular to identify monitoring and onward referral triggers thus ensuring high quality care which is appropriate, effective and equitable across the Service.
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.

Clinical Effectiveness Policy (P85)
The purpose of this policy is to set out the rationale for clinical audit and provide a framework for such activity, including standards, guidance and procedures, as well as details of the support available from the Clinical Effectiveness Team: • For registering and approving clinical audit project proposals • For developing and designing clinical audit projects • To ensure clinical audit leads to improvement when a need for improvement is identified This policy aims to support a culture of best practice in the management and delivery of clinical audit, to clarify the roles and responsibilities of all staff involved, and to promote a culture of quality improvement in our services.
Child Visiting Policy (P18)
The aim of this policy is to provide a process for staff when facilitating visits by a child/ren to (Derbyshire Community Health Services FT) DCHS inpatient and day case services, including services where patients are detained under the Mental Health Act (1983). Maintaining effective family contact and dynamics has been shown to often be crucial for a full recovery for people with mental health problems. Health professionals must be aware that the needs of the child come first, and they must not be put at significant risk of harm. Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018) sets out how organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people in accordance with Section 11 of the Children Act 2004. All health professionals and organisations have a key role to play in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Many DCHS services do not directly work with children; staff working within these services may indirectly become involved in the welfare of child visitors as part of their daily case management.
