2 COMMUNITY EQUIPMENT SERVICE EQUIPMENT CATALOGUE Version 6 (2017) Introduction The Community Equipment Service helps to support people to develop their full potential and to maintain their health and independence. The purpose of this catalogue is to advise referrers on the range of equipment available and the process through which it can be ordered. The catalogue identifies standard. Orders will be accepted from a suitably competent referrer, details of which can be found within the catalogue. The catalogue is intended as a user guide to assist in the selection of the most suitable equipment for the client needs. Care must always be taken not to over-prescribe and to select the most cost effective method of solving the presenting problem. Safe working loads may not be accurate if supplier changes. Please check on the equipment issued if patient near the safe working load stated. The catalogue will be reviewed annually. Assessment Assessment is fundamental to ensuring that appropriate equipment is prescribed. The assessment should be carried out by a suitably competent member of staff who will be responsible for instructing the patient/client in its use. Written instructions and diagrams on the use of the equipment should be given to the recipient or their carer. The changing conditions and needs of the patient/client and their carer must be considered. If there is any doubt about the ability of the patient/client to use the equipment safely (e.g. for physical or mental health reasons) discussions must take place with a senior member of staff or the Clinical Advisor to the Community Equipment Service before a decision to issue is made. (The Clinical Advisor can provide expert clinical advice on all aspects of standard and specialist community equipment acting as a source of knowledge to clinical and social care staff.) All assessors should conduct a home visit if required and carry out a full needs assessment at the appropriate location. For simple assessments staff can requisition equipment direct from the stores. Recipients must be informed of their responsibility to take good care of the equipment and to store it safely. It is the responsibility of the assessor to ensure the safe provision, instruction for use, and fitting of equipment to the individual user/carer. The stores driver/fitters will deliver and fit equipment only when the assessor clearly requests this; it is the assessor s responsibility to make sure a suitable demonstration has been made prior to the delivery. Contact Details If you have any concerns regarding any item of equipment please contact: Community Equipment Service Unit D6 Hortonwood 7 Hortonwood Telford TF1 7GP Telephone: Fax: Community.EquipmentServices@shropcom.nhs.uk 2
