This is the second integrated Community Equipment Service (CES) catalogue for Devon and replaces previous editions of printed Joint Equipment Store (JES) catalogues.

The catalogue is provided by the Community Equipment Service and is intended for staff ordering equipment for service users and carers for whom Devon County Council Social Services and the Northern Devon Healthcare Trust  (North Devon, Mid Devon, East Devon, Exeter)  and Teignbridge and South Hams & West Devon have commissioning responsibility.

Please note this catalogue is not for retail use, although it may of course be useful information to any member of the public who wishes to buy their own equipment elsewhere, should this be an option. (see Where can I buy equipment for myself?)

The catalogue has been developed by a joint, multidisciplinary team and stakeholder agencies within Devon have been consulted.

The range of CES equipment is being developed to meet user and carer need and choice, across age and disability, as well as improving generic clinical access.

Please note this catalogue is not for retail use. It can only be used by staff authorised by Devon County Council and NHS Primary Care Trusts to prescribe equipment.

The purpose of this document is to clarify the responsibilities to provide equipment between Social Services, the National Health Service (NHS) as provided by the local Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Care Homes, including those that offer Nursing Care.  The local guidance notes on equipment and care homes have been produced to provide clarity for clinicians and homeowners alike and to give the responsibilities for the provision of equipment a greater equity across our organisational boundaries

CES.in.Care.Homes.Devon

These local agreements must be read in conjunction with 'Getting Started' Community Equipment and care homes last updated 12 October 2004 This earlier document left some areas of provision to local agreements and this document provides these agreements.  It has been produced by staff across the Devon Health and Social Care community.  

The Department of health 'Care Homes for Older People National Minimum Standards', sets out the minimum core standards which apply to all care homes providing accommodation and nursing or personal care for older people.
