Safe to Wait SOP for Band 3 HCAs (S76)

The rationale for introducing a “Safe to Wait” process is, for when patients present to UTC Services, the first point of contact will usually be the Reception/HCA staff. The Safe to Wait Guidance will be undertaken by Health Care Assistant (Band 3) staff following specific training and a period of demonstrating competence for the assessment of patients attending the UTCs with specific conditions/injuries. This will ensure that Band 3 HCA’s are aware of “Red Flag Signs”, and symptoms that indicate that someone presenting at the unit may require immediate or urgent attention.

Cardiac Rehab Service SOP (S109)

This SOP was drawn up to confirm and clarify the operating procedure for the community cardiac rehabilitation service (CR) This document sets out the standards which, in the view of the patient and professional organisations involved, are required of services to deliver a high-quality community cardiac rehabilitation service for people with cardiovascular disease (CVD) Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive secondary prevention programme of exercise and education aimed at people who have had a cardiac event, cardiac surgery, and heart failure. Research has demonstrated that it helps reduce mortality and morbidity “The evidence base that supports the merits of comprehensive CR is robust and consistently demonstrates a favourable impact on cardiovascular mortality and hospital re-admissions in patients with coronary heart disease” (Anderson et al 2016). The community cardiac rehabilitation service was developed in response to a growing need for more cardiac rehabilitation programmes for a wider range of cardiac conditions which were unable to be accommodated in the acute hospital programmes and to offer a menu of options for delivery of programmes closer to the patient’s own home.
