Hi,
We've had several instances recently where patients/relatives have been discharged with medical equipment from our loan library e.g syringe driver or volumetric pump.
Obviously they had training on the device before being allowed to take it. I am aware of the MHRA "checklist for patients discharged from hospital with a medical device"
What do other Trusts do in cases such as this? Do you make them sit some sort of competency test? How do you know that in the case of a adverse incident you're not in the poo?
Thanks, John
