My Download - 18 January 2022
Apologies for missing last week - we are very depleted in numbers in Comms and had to make some difficult decisions about priorities - last week media enquiries, the web, Operational Update and Team Brief made the list! Lots to share this week .... including how to access the new web, details about the mileage consultation, an update on the Belper plans and so much more!

Transfer of Care Protocol (S14)
1.1 The purpose of these joint procedures is to minimise delays for all adult patients assessed as fit for transfer including those who need Care Packages at home, permanent Care Home Placements whether publicly funded, self-funded, or fully funded by NHS Continuing Care or Terminal Care as described in the NHS Continuing Care National Framework (Revised November 2018.) These procedures will ensure efficient bed utilisation.
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.
