Patient handovers from 999 crews are as immediate as possible at ED on paper PCR( electronic PCR expected in 2014/15); GPs are informed of non-conveyed patients where pathways exist; UCS patients have details faxed to GPs by 0800 the next morning. Social Care referrals are now done via an Electronic system for safeguarding, or SPoA (where available) for other Social Service referrals. These are done with patient consent None; This is a basic requirement of good conduct, and is covered in all clinician education. Whilst not a formal policy, it would be expected as part of good communication with patients the roles and responsibilities of the different members of the healthcare team None in 999 situations the attending crew would share this responsibility the communication about their care that takes place between members of the healthcare team. Give the patient (and their family members and/or carers if appropriate) information about what to do and who to contact in different situations, such as 'out of hours' or in an emergency Ensure that the environment is conducive to discussion and that the patient's privacy is respected, particularly when discussing sensitive, personal issues None: Non conveyance safety netting as per Clinician training, Trust Policies/clinical guidelines, and patient information leaflets None; in line with Trust Patient Experience policy Maximise patient participation in communication by, for example: maintaining eye contact with the patient (if culturally appropriate) positioning yourself at the same level as the patient None; as per Clinician training, and Trust prehospital communication guide ensuring that the patient is appropriately covered (if

6 applicable) Ask the patient how they wish to be addressed and ensure that their choice is respected and used Establish the most effective way of communicating with each patient and explore ways to improve communication. Examples include using pictures, symbols, large print, Braille, different languages, sign language or communications aids, or involving an interpreter, a patient advocate or family members Ensure that the accent, use of idiom and dialect of both the patient and the healthcare professionals are taken into account when considering communication needs Avoid using jargon. Use words the patient will understand, define unfamiliar words and confirm understanding by asking questions.. Use open-ended questions to encourage discussion. Summarise information at the end of a consultation and check that the patient has understood the most important information All staff involved in providing NHS services should have demonstrated competency in relevant communication skills Give the patient information, and the support they need to make use of the information, in order to promote their active participation in care and selfmanagement Give the patient both oral and written information None; This is a basic requirement of good conduct. Whilst not a formal policy, it would be expected as part of good communication with patients None; as per Clinician training, and Trust prehospital communication guide.

Whilst not a formal policy, it would be expected as part of good communication with patients None; as per Clinician training, and Trust prehospital communication guide None; as per Clinician training, and Trust prehospital communication guide where appropriate None; as per Clinician training in patient assessment, also this is a basic requirement of good conduct.

The Trust also supplies Patient information leaflets on self care and safety netting. None: Non conveyed 999 patients would get both. Written information would include a copy of the PCR and leaflet if appropriate. UCS/111 patients would get oral only if dealt with on the

7 Give the patient information in an accessible format, at the first and subsequent visits. Possible formats include using written information, pictures, symbols, large print, Braille and different languages Explore the patient's preferences about the level and type of information they want. Based on this, give the patient (and their family members and/or carers if appropriate) clear, consistent, evidencebased, tailored information throughout all stages of their care. This should include, but not be limited to, information on: their condition and any treatment options where they will be seen who will undertake their care telephone but may be directed to websites. Conveyed 999 patients would not receive written information None: Various formats are available on request where the above conditions apply None: Where available to clinicians this information would be passed using the above formats. 999 patients may not be able to get this information (e.g. expected treatment/waiting time). 111 systems would follow the NHS pathways advice, and UCS clinicians would pass this information where appropriate (i.e. treatment centre and appointment time) expected waiting times for consultations, investigations and treatments Ask the patient whether they want to be accompanied at consultations by a family member, friend or advocate, and whether they would like to take notes and/or an audio recording of the consultation 999 patients may be accompanied by relative/friend or carer if the crew deem this appropriate and space is available. UCS appointments allow for patients to be accompanied. Notes of the consultation are available as either a PCR or Adastra record. Audio recordings would not be provided unless the consultation was via telephone which is recorded Give the patient (and/or their family members and carers) information to enable them to use any medicines and equipment correctly. Ensure that the patient and their family members and carers feel adequately informed, prepared and supported to use medicines and equipment and to carry out selfcare and self-management When discussing decisions about investigations and treatment, do so in a style and manner that enables the patient to express their personal needs and preferences. Medications prescribed or supplied under PGD are complete with manufacturer patient information leaflets. PGDs are available to enhance the safety net advice to patients. Trust patient information leaflets may also be supplied where appropriate None; as per Clinician training in patient assessment, and Trust Patient Experience policy which follows the White Paper principle of no decision about me, without me.

8 Give the patient the opportunity to discuss their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment options When offering any investigations or treatments: explain the medical aims of the proposed care to the patient None; as per Clinician training in patient assessment, also this is a basic requirement of good conduct. Whilst not a formal policy, it would be expected as part of good communication with patients. It also forms the basis of several Clinical Guidelines where alternative destinations to ED are considered openly discuss and provide information about the risks, benefits and consequences of the investigation or treatment options (taking into account factors such as coexisting conditions and the patient's preferences) clarify what the patient hopes the treatment will achieve and discuss any misconceptions with them None; as per Clinician training in patient assessment, consent, and also this is a basic requirement of good conduct. It would be expected as part of good communication with patients. It also forms the basis of several Clinical Guidelines where alternative destinations to ED are considered set aside adequate time to allow any questions to be answered, and ask the patient if they would like a further consultation Accept and acknowledge that patients may vary in their views about the balance of risks, benefits and consequences of treatments None: as per Trust guidance on Capacity/consent, patient experience policy etc Offer support to the patient when they are considering options. Use the principles of shared decision making: ensure that the patient is aware of the options available and explain the risks, benefits and consequences of these None: as per Trust guidance on Capacity/consent, patient experience policy etc check that the patient understands the information encourage the patient to clarify what is important to them, and check that their choice is consistent with

9 this Give the patient (and their family members and/or carers if appropriate) adequate time to make decisions about investigations and treatments None; it is recognised that this would be difficult in a 999 situation, however the principles of capacity/consent would be followed in all cases.
