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).

London, Eastern and South East Steering Group on Medicines Management and Older People
Principles for older people and their medicines statement of principles for supporting older people to use their medicines safely and appropriately in their own homes, in care homes and across interfaces of care (4 October 2006)
One of the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) milestones due for achievement by October 2004 was that "all Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) should have schemes in place so that older people get more help from pharmacists in using their medicines". This document (15 pp) identifies the need to integrate medicines management into current care pathways, the Single Assessment Process (SAP) and case management. It sets out six principles, illustrated by examples of good practice:
1: Every individual has the right to an assessment to identify their care needs and such support as is necessary for safe and appropriate use of his or her medicines;
2: Every individual has access to their medicines and is able to use them safely and appropriately;
3: Every individual and/or carer has access to high quality information from a health care professional about their medicines;
4: Health and social care organisations provide support for medicines use, in line with the principles of clinical governance and national minimum standards;
5: Individuals are entitled to receive coordinated care when moving between different care settings;
6: Every health and social care economy has a robust referral system to a pharmacist to ensure a consistent point of contact, communications network and signposting.
A glossary is acknowledged to Lelly Oboh, Lambeth PCT.
The document is accompanied by a letter from Theresa Rutter, 'Key principles of care to support older people in the safe, effective use of their medicines in their own homes and in care homes'.
