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.

Physical Health Care For People With Mental Health And Learning Disabilities Guidelines (G15)

This guidance aims to set out the standard of physical health monitoring for those patients within both the older person’s mental health and learning disability inpatient units. It provides guidance about physical health care interventions that are provided within the Trust and those requiring advice or intervention from other services. Good physical health underpins the overall well-being of our patients and supports a holistic approach to care delivery, which includes the identification and appropriate management of physical health needs. In relation to those service users attending specialist OPMH day Services or specialist LD outpatients, the responsibility for the patient’s physical, health care will remain with their General Practitioner. Where there are any identified physical health findings or concerns noted whilst the patient is attending the service, their General Practitioner must be notified.

Chaperone Policy (P87)

The purpose of the Chaperone Policy is to set out the principles, practice and responsibilities of Trust staff for using a chaperone. The policy is aimed at DCHS Services and staff who provide care and treatment that requires the patient to have a procedure. The relationship between the person and the health professional should be one of mutual trust, confidence and respect. Over the years there have been incidents where the relationship has been breached, resulting in harm to the person and criminal prosecution of the health professional (HM Government, 2007). Inadequate communication and misunderstandings about the behaviour demonstrated during a procedure by a health professional towards the person, has also resulted in health professionals facing allegations of professional misconduct. Safe and effective communication is crucial, before during and after a procedure. The use of a chaperone can help to protect both the person and the health professional.
