Policy
We perform the following infusions at the practice:
Clinicians administering infusions follow strict infection and prevention control policies.
See also Infection Prevention and Control (IPC).
All infusions are administered under standing orders. Registered nurses who are authorised under standing orders are appropriately trained to administer medicines to patients.
Patients give informed consent and complete consent forms before the procedure. All consent forms are scanned into the PMS.
Document the infusion in patient notes and set a recall for an appropriate time frame.
For more information on administering infusions, refer to HealthPathways.
