Recording Smoking Status of New Pregnant Women
GPs are often the first health professional to meet a pregnant smoker. Currently midwives refer pregnant smokers to
the Stop Smoking Service from 12 weeks of pregnancy but GPs are in a position to detect smokers and refer much
earlier in the pregnancy. A review of the various new pregnancy booking forms that GPs used to refer to St Thomas
Hospital in January 2014 found that only 70% had a box to record smoking status and, of these, only 56% had
recorded smoking status.
Recommendations for GPs to improve detection of pregnant smokers:
1.
Use hospital standardised form which includes smoking status. The links are as follows:
Kings College Hospital www.kch.nhs.uk/gps/referral-forms
St Thomas Hospital http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-services/maternity/referrals.aspx
2.
Record smoking status on new pregnancy booking form
The stop smoking service (SSS) have pregnancy specialist advisors in which you can refer pregnant smokers.

New Course for HCA’s (please see attached information (1a-b))
In response to the many requests we have had for training and supervision for HCAs we have commissioned two
courses for at London Southbank Uni. They are free and are 6 days over approximately 12 weeks. I have already
mailed this to the HCAs and the managers of practices where they are employed.
We want ALL our current HCAs to undertake these courses to bring them (and you) up to speed with current issues
regarding employment of HCAs following the Francis report into Staffordshire. Other days are spent on
communication skills, health promotion, physiological measurement and the new patient health check. Many HCAs
will not have been taught these basic elements of care and all the teaching is mapped to the new Care Certificate
which is in development stages through Health Education England.
11 September 2014
Once completed we will know that all HCAs in Lambeth have had a thorough, certificated basic preparation for their
role which will underpin skills they have learnt subsequently. Funding of subsequent training for HCAs may be
subject to completion of this course

Update from Directorate of Infectious Diseases
You will be aware of the on-going epidemic of Ebola in West Africa affecting Liberia, Sierra Leone and guinea and
alerts have been distributed by public health England centrally to GPs about this.
Many GPs send malaria films to our laboratories to investigate fever in returning travellers and some of these will
come from individuals returning from these areas. The laboratory need to know on the clinical information
submitted with malaria test requests where the patient has travelled to and what their VHF risk assessment is as this
affects how samples are processed in the lab. Without this information the laboratory cannot process the samples.
Currently the labs are telephoning GP practices to obtain this information leading to delays. Even if the patient is
high risk the sample can still be processed but a separate technique is used.
Please be aware of the necessity to perform a “viral haemorrhagic fever risk assessment” and record the information
on the clinical information when submitting a malaria film request. The risk assessment is available here


Carers Hub Update
Our aim in contacting you is to inform you about a project we’re running in conjunction with Day Lewis pharmacy
(Stockwell Rd).
The project is a pilot to identify “hidden carers”.
11 September 2014
Background
Carers are people of all ages who look after a family member or friend with a long-term illness, disability or mental
health problem. We know that many of the 20,000 carers in the borough of Lambeth are not accessing any of the
support and information which could help them in their caring role. 5,000 of these are caring are caring for more
than 50 hours per week.
Carers Hub Lambeth is a charity commissioned by LB of Lambeth to provide support to unpaid carers in the borough.
The services we provide include:
-
Advice and information through our Enquiry Line 020 7642 0038
A quarterly newsletter
Our website
1:1 support & groups for carers of people with mental health problems, learning disabilities or dementia
Support for carers wanting to get back into paid work
Training (IT, financial management, mindfulness, lifting, health & safety)
Project
The project will attempt to reach those who care for people with a chronic health condition by placing Carers Hub
Lambeth leaflets with repeat prescriptions. Many carers pick up repeat prescriptions for those they care for. We’re
hoping the leaflets will lead to those looking after those with a long term medical condition to identify themselves as
carers and to contact us if they need advice or support. The project will run for 4 weeks

immediately reverse the effects of an opiate overdose. Provision of naloxone to the family, carers and friends of
those who use heroin and other opiates can save lives and is being encouraged at a national level.
