Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire SHA
The Single Assessment Process training resource [author: Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire SHA] (July 2003)
This training resource sets out the key issues relating to joint working, SAP, and information sharing and consent, using a variety of tools, including narrative text, PowerPoint presentations, exercises, case studies and handouts. It also includes a glossary of terms. The CDROM has printable PDF versions of these materials, along with editable PowerPoint files for the three presentations on joint working, the single assessment process, and the Data Protection Act and Caldicott principles.
The pack is intended for use in multi-agency training. It is not designed to be used in isolation, and it is expected that trainers will add to it according to local need and following further learning through pilot sites. It is assumed that trainers using this training resource will be linked into the development of SAP locally, and will be working closely with the project leads who wrote and compiled the resource.
The resource has been produced as a joint initiative by a group of project managers and trainers from the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Strategic Health Authority (AGW SHA): Paulette Nuttall (Bristol), Sheila Turner (South Gloucestershire), Marilyn Hughes (Swindon), Richard Pople and Jane Towler (North Somerset), Bo Novak (Bath and North East Somerset), and Marianna Poulton (Wiltshire).

It includes references to national guidance, and examples of local protocols, policies and more detailed materials are embedded within the document. These protocols and policies have been developed to meet particular local needs, and provide good models from which to work.

Derbyshire Mental Health Services NHS Trust
Advance Directives policy [author: Phil Hopkinson] (January 2004)
This policy is designed to help clinical staff to deliver an ethically and legally sound service by: defining the legal rights that an individual has to specify regarding how he or she would like to be treated at a future time. It defines the limits of such advance directives; describes how patients can be involved in their care through the formulation of an Advance Directive; and describes procedures that trust staff should follow to ascertain that any such relevant directives are honoured by clinical staff in the treatment of an individual deemed incapable of making treatment decisions. Although clearly intended for use by mental health services, the material could be applied to SAP.
