They are frequently used as threats to compel people undertaking voluntary treatment to take certain medication or behave in a certain manner without actually legally compelling it. <br /> <br /> === Section 4 ===<br /> Section 4 is used for admittance to hospital for an emergancy, because of a mental health condition, without your consent. <br /> ==== General use ====<br /> It's frequently used when, for example, a GP considers someone to need admitting to hospital, but they are not already admitted to hospital. Another common example is having been seen by a doctor in A&E, who decides you should be admitted. <br /> <br /> If you are not in hospital, the ambulance service will arrange transit to the hospital, after which time a section 2 acessment will be carried out.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> This section allows a doctor to admit you to hospital without your consent for 72 hours, in contrast to section 5, which allows people to hold you in hospital after already being admitted. <br /> <br /> They can hold you in hospital, but they cannot force treatment(such as medication) on you.<br /> <br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> The section is often confused with section 5, but the differences between them once the section has been used are minimal, and generally not worth challenging.<br /> <br /> === Section 5(2) ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> Section 5(2) is used by a doctor to hold you in hosptial following admittance to hospital with your consent. <br /> <br /> For example, following a suicide attempt someone may seek treatment for the physical consequenses of the attempt, and they decide they wish to leave the hospital following(or part way through) this treatment. The section may be used now, to hold them in hospital until two doctors can access whether the doctors are going to hold you under section 3 for acessment for mental health issues.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> One doctor can Mandate that someone is held for up to 72 hours, and in this time they cannot be forced to take any medication or undergo any treatment. This time should be used to being a two psychiatrists to the person as soon as possible, to carry out a full acessment. <br /> <br /> Being held doesn't nesicerily mean they'll be held on a specialised psychiatric ward- it's very possible the doctor will rely on the nurse on their ward to alert hospital security and prevent them from leaving, or a private security guard stationed to watch them.<br /> <br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> The section can be confused with section 4, which is for admittance to hospital, and section 5(4), which is a similar section but shorter and used by a mental health nurses(a common misconception is that any nurse can use this section- only mental health or learning disabilites nurses can. See [[#Section 5(4)| s5(4)]] for more details)<br /> <br /> === Section 5(4) ===<br /> Section 5(4), also known as a nurses power to hold, allows someone already admitted to hospital '''for a mental health condition''' to be detained by '''a mental health or learning disabilities nurse'''<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> This section is used by mental health nurses on people who're already admitted to hospital voluntarily, generally umpon them attempting to leave without clearances. Upon it's use they have 12 hours to get the doctor responsible for the persons care to sign off on a longer section(normally a s5(2), but sometimes a s3 accessment will be carried out). <br /> <br /> After 8 hours of not finding the relevent doctor, they'll generally try and find any clinician to sign off on a longer section(this is common hospital policy, not law).<br /> <br /> If a doctor cannot be found, this section can be extended for a further 12 hours. In reality this is releitivley routine, but is supposed to be an emergancy provision.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> This section allows a mental health or learning disabilities nurse to hold a patient who as already been admitted for a mental health condition. The person can be held for up to 12 hours, which can be extended another 12 hours, to 24 hours, in an emergancy a doctor cannot be found.<br /> <br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> <br /> Nurse training programs and common practice dictate that any nurse may excercise this power, however only nurses "of the prescribed class", specifically registered mental health and learning disabilites nurses may excercise this right. <br /> <br /> An advocate may be sufficient to argue that this does not allow someone to be detained, and self advocacy can be attempted on this basis, when, for example example attempting to leave a ward which is not staffed by mental health nurses.<br /> <br /> == Treatment sections ==<br /> === Section 2 ===<br /> Section two is a long term treatment section normally used after a section three- it can be repeated indefinatly, and allows doctors to force medication or treatment. <br /> ==== General use ====<br /> Section two will normally be used following someone being sectioned under section three, if the person is still considered a risk to themselves or others due to their mental health condition, they will be transfered to a section 2, which can run for up to six months, and repeated. <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> <br /> === Section 3 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Police sections ==<br /> === Section 18 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 135 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 136 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Judicial sections ==<br /> === Section 35 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 37 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 47 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Other sections ==<br /> === Section 117 ===<br /> <br /> == The mental capacity act ==</div>

They are frequently used as threats to compel people undertaking voluntary treatment to take certain medication or behave in a certain manner without actually legally compelling it. <br /> <br /> === Section 4 ===<br /> Section 4 is used for admittance to hospital for an emergancy, because of a mental health condition, without your consent. <br /> ==== General use ====<br /> It's frequently used when, for example, a GP considers someone to need admitting to hospital, but they are not already admitted to hospital.

The section may be used now, to hold them in hospital until two doctors can access whether the doctors are going to hold you under section 3 for acessment for mental health issues.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> One doctor can Mandate that someone is held for up to 72 hours, and in this time they cannot be forced to take any medication or undergo any treatment. This time should be used to being a two psychiatrists to the person as soon as possible, to carry out a full acessment. <br /> <br /> Being held doesn't nesicerily mean they'll be held on a specialised psychiatric ward- it's very possible the doctor will rely on the nurse on their ward to alert hospital security and prevent them from leaving, or a private security guard stationed to watch them.<br /> <br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> The section can be confused with section 4, which is for admittance to hospital, and section 5(4), which is a similar section but shorter and used by a mental health nurses(a common misconception is that any nurse can use this section- only mental health or learning disabilites nurses can.

The section may be used now, to hold them in hospital until two doctors can access whether the doctors are going to hold you under section 3 for acessment for mental health issues.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> One doctor can Mandate that someone is held for up to 72 hours, and in this time they cannot be forced to take any medication or undergo any treatment. This time should be used to being a two psychiatrists to the person as soon as possible, to carry out a full acessment. <br /> <br /> Being held doesn't nesicerily mean they'll be held on a specialised psychiatric ward- it's very possible the doctor will rely on the nurse on their ward to alert hospital security and prevent them from leaving, or a private security guard stationed to watch them.<br /> <br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> The section can be confused with section 4, which is for admittance to hospital, and section 5(4), which is a similar section but shorter and used by a mental health nurses(a common misconception is that any nurse can use this section- only mental health or learning disabilites nurses can.

Upon it's use they have 12 hours to get the doctor responsible for the persons care to sign off on a longer section(normally a s5(2), but sometimes a s3 accessment will be carried out). <br /> <br /> After 8 hours of not finding the relevent doctor, they'll generally try and find any clinician to sign off on a longer section(this is common hospital policy, not law).<br /> <br /> If a doctor cannot be found, this section can be extended for a further 12 hours. In reality this is releitivley routine, but is supposed to be an emergancy provision.<br /> <br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> <br /> Nurse training programs and common practice dictate that any nurse may excercise this power, however only nurses "of the prescribed class", specifically registered mental health and learning disabilites nurses may excercise this right. <br /> <br /> An advocate may be sufficient to argue that this does not allow someone to be detained, and self advocacy can be attempted on this basis, when, for example example attempting to leave a ward which is not staffed by mental health nurses.<br /> <br /> == Treatment sections ==<br /> === Section 2 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 3 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Police sections ==<br /> === Section 18 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 135 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 136 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Judicial sections ==<br /> === Section 35 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 37 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> === Section 47 ===<br /> ==== General use ====<br /> ==== Powers ====<br /> ==== Common Misuses and mistakes ====<br /> == Other sections ==<br /> === Section 117 ===<br /> <br /> == The mental capacity act ==</div>

<p>Ada: /* What to do before doing a subcutaneous injection */</p> <hr /> <div>{{draft protocol}}<br /> {{medical review}}<br /> [[category:injection protocol]]<br /> This is a protocol for (self-)administering a subcutaneous(often "SC" "or "subcut") injection. This protocol is most commonly used for administering decapeptyl, a GNRH analogue, in HRT, or insulin, for the treatment of diabetes. <br /> <br /> == When to do a subcutaneous injection==<br /> <br /> Subcut injections should carried out by a clinical professional, most often a nurse, however this is not an option(as has been becoming more common through the Covid-19 pandemic) then they can be self administered or administered by others, with the patientc consent. <br /> <br /> == What to do before doing a subcutaneous injection==<br /> <br /> * You '''must''' explain the procedure, if you're doing it to a different person, and gain their consent for you to do it to them. <br /> * You '''must''' check the medication is correct. Talk to the patient and check if it's:<br /> ** The '''right medication'''- Check the medication labeling to ensure it's what you expect to be in the bottle, and consider substance testing.<br /> ** The '''right dose'''- check the dose is what is intended. <br /> ** The '''right time'''(and date)- decapeptyl is normally on a three or 6 month cycle, insulin twice or more a day. <br /> ** The '''right route'''- Check it's not an IM or IV injection, for example. <br /> ** The '''right person'''- Talk to the person, make sure they're expecting the medication and that they recognise the medication as medication intended for them.<br /> * You '''should''' clean an area to work on(if you cannot, make sure not to let the needles touch any surfaces that have not been sanitised), with an alcohol or antibacterial wipe, and lay out:<br /> ** A sharps bin<br /> ** The medication<br /> ** A long(3cm+), wide(commonly 18 gauge), and possibly blunt needle for drawing up [[Drawing_up_Injectible_medication_protocol|drawing up]]<br /> ** A shorter(commonly 4-8mm long) and thinner(normally 25 or higher gauge) needle for doing the actual injection.<br /> ** Alcohol swabs<br /> ** Any PPE<br /> * You '''must''' put on any relevent PPE, which '''should''' include gloves, but given this protocol will not normally release blood or other bodiliy fluids, you '''can''' choose not to. <br /> * You '''must''' clean your hands, with soap and water or alcohol hand gel. <br /> * [[Drawing_up_Injectible_medication_protocol|Draw up the medication]]<br /> [[File:Subcutaneous-injection-sites-274x300.png|thumb|Figure 1: Subcutaneous injection sites ]]<br /> * You '''must''' select a site for an injection:<br /> ** Talk to the patient and ask them their prefered injection site- the outsides of the upper arm and the front of the thighs are normally the best options, but any site in fig 1 can be used. <br /> ** Look at the injection site and check it's clean and free of infections, scars, leisons, and other markings, as well as muscle or bone close to the surface- the aim is to inject into the layer of fat below the skin("subcutaneous fat"). <br /> * You '''must''' clean the injection site, with an alcohol swab, for 30s or more.<br /> <br /> == How to do a subcutaneous injection ==<br /> <br /> * You '''must''' tell the person you're going to inject them, and talk to them about distracting things if it's nessecary. <br /> * You '''must''' pinch the skin and the fat(but not the muscle) to make it easier to insert the needle into.<br /> * Holding the injection like a pencil, push the needle just below the surface, until it's penetrated the skin and rests in subcutaneous fat. <br /> * You '''must''' draw back on the plunger a little, and check no blood appears in the syringe. If it does, repeat at a slightly different site.<br /> * Inject the contents of the syringe over 10-30s<br /> * You '''must''' wait 10s and then withdraw the needle<br /> * You '''must''' release the pinch of skin and fat. <br /> <br /> == What to do after do a subcutaneous injection ==<br /> <br /> * Place the needle in a sharps bin, throw the syringe in a black bin(or clinical waste bin if one is available)<br /> * Check in with the person receiving the injection, and make sure you and they have a note of the medication and time it was administered<br /> <br /> https://www.nursingtimes.net/clinical-archive/assessment-skills/injection-technique-2-administering-drugs-via-the-subcutaneous-route-28-08-2018/</div>

<p>Ada: /* When to Pay People */</p> <hr /> <div>{{review protocol}}<br /> {{finance protocol}}<br /> <br /> This is the protocol for paying people. This is payment as it '''currently works''' in QueerCare.<br /> <br /> QueerCare is looking to move to paying people on a '''weekly''' basis. When this change happens, this protocol will be updated.<br /> <br /> == When to Pay People ==<br /> <br /> QueerCare pays people for the labour of:<br /> * '''Care''' and '''advocacy''' work done as QC or to QC protocol. Importantly:<br /> ** Care work done for people you are romantically or sexually involved with, or live with, is not work within QC<br /> ** Care work done without a buddy in QC in regular contact with you, is not work within QC<br /> * '''Mental health first response''' done based on QC protocol or training<br /> * '''Admin''' work done for QC, such as work on protocol or finance.<br /> * Other '''internal''' or '''external''' work done for QC, such as logistics or running a training.<br /> <br /> QueerCare does '''not''' currently pay people for the labour of '''Protest First Aid'''. This is something that is being '''actively discussed''' by the people who do this work. As with all other kinds of work, peolple doing Protest First Aid are strongly enocuraged to claim full expenses ([[Claim expenses|Claiming Expenses Protocol]]).<br /> <br /> QueerCare '''must''' pay people for their labour if the costs of paying people '''averaged''' over the '''previous three months''' are '''less''' than '''current cash reserves''' (which is to say, can expect to be able to pay people for three months).<br /> <br /> QueerCare '''can''' pay people for their labour if the costs of paying people '''averaged''' over the '''previous three months''' and '''divided by three''' are '''less''' than '''current cash reserves''' (which is to say, can expect to be able to pay people for one month).<br /> <br /> == How Often People are Paid ==<br /> <br /> Currently, people are paid on a '''monthly''' basis at the start of each month, after they have '''invoiced''' for the hours they worked over the previous month. QC is looking to move to paying people on a '''weekly''' basis, using the same model.<br /> <br /> == Wages and Legal Framework ==<br /> <br /> The hourly wage for work with QC is the '''living wage''' for each person's area as determined by the Living Wage Foundation, '''multiplied by 1.25''' and rounded to the '''nearest penny'''. Everyone is paid the '''same hourly rate'''. This is currently '''£13.34 p/h for people working in London''', and '''£11.63 p/h for people outside of London'''.<br /> <br /> Currently, people paid by QC are employed as '''freelancers'''. This means they must sort out their own '''tax''' and '''National Insurance contributions (NICs)'''. QC and people within QC should help them do this.<br /> <br /> QC hopes to change this soon, and create a fully unionised workforce.<br /> <br /> == How to Claim Payment == <br /> <br /> When you are doing QC work, please try to roughly keep track of the hours you have worked. This will help you make sure you claim for all the work you have done.<br /> <br /> At the '''start of each month''' a message should be posted in #general-announcements reminding people to file an '''invoice''' for the hours they worked over the '''previous month'''. <br /> <br /> To invoice, send an e-mail to '''[email protected]''' including (at least) the following information:<br /> * The '''date''' of the invoice<br /> * An '''invoice number''' (can be arbitrary, should differ from invoice to invoice)<br /> * Your '''preferred payment method''' between PayPal and BACS, and any details needed for that (BACS currently takes longer as only one person in the organisation can do BACS right now)<br /> * Your '''address'''<br /> * A brief, clear '''description of the work you did'''<br /> * The '''number of hours''' you worked for QC this '''month'''<br /> * The total '''amount of money being claimed''' (which should be the above number multiplied by the wage)<br /> * Whether you would like to be '''reminded''' via e-mail to make your next invoice<br /> <br /> Please see [[Invoice Email Template]] for a '''template''' for this.<br /> <br /> If you would like to be paid at a '''different time''' (eg. weekly, or earlier or later on a given month) this is fine and you should message Ada or Alex on Slack or on Signal to sort this.<br /> <br /> == Paying People Aged Under 18 ==<br /> <br /> === 13, 14 and 15 ===<br /> People aged '''13''', '''14''' and '''15''' must work within [https://www.gov.uk/child-employment/restrictions-on-child-employment these] '''legal requirements'''. For work that is done ''''from home'''' and within these '''requirements''', people aged 13, 14 and 15 can be paid '''as over 16s/18s''' are. However this does not extend to work done 'outside the home'. <br /> <br /> If you are aged 13, 14 or 15 and do QC work ''''outside the home'''' or '''outside of restricted hours''' & '''conditions''' it '''cannot be waged''', but you must claim '''full expenses''' for this work. <br /> <br /> People aged 13, 14 and 15 should not work in a way that is detrimental to their '''education''' or '''health''' and should talk to someone in QC/QCYF (such as the QCYF General Meeting, see [[Internal Support in QCYF Protocol]]) if this is a problem. <br /> <br /> === 16 and 17 ===<br /> People aged 16 and 17 must work within [https://www.acas.org.uk/young-workers-apprentices-and-work-experience these] '''legal requirements''' (a more detailed overview of your rights can be found [https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/work/check-your-rights-at-work-if-youre-under-18/ here]). <br /> <br /> Please note there are '''differences''' for people who are in '''full-time education/training''' and people who are in '''part-time education/training'''. <br /> <br /> People aged 16 and 17 who do QC work '''within these restrictions''' will be paid '''as over 18s are'''.<br /> <br /> If you are 16 or 17 and do QC work '''outside of restricted hours''' and '''conditions''' this work '''cannot be waged''' but you must claim '''full expenses''' for this work. <br /> <br /> You should not work in a way that is detrimental to your '''education''' or '''health''' and should talk to someone in QC/QCYF (such as the QCYF General Meeting, see [[Internal Support in QCYF Protocol]]) if this is a problem.<br /> <br /> == What to do after Paying People ==<br /> <br /> People handling finance should post the '''current amount in the bank account''' in the '''finance and fundraising chat'''. <br /> <br /> == Principles, Sources and Reasoning ==<br /> <br /> QueerCare pays people for '''political''' and '''practical''' reasons. The '''practical''' reasons for paying people are:<br /> * Demanding large amounts of unpaid labour results in only financially privileged people being able to do the work of supporting people with some level of sustainability, and produces organisations which do not support those who most need support and which exacerbate burnout amongst those who are most oppressed and precarious.<br /> * People being paid by third parties stops them being dependent on people they care for, discouraging extortion. <br /> * Historically, support work in queer communities results in bunrout and bad care, because people cannot support themselves while doing it. <br /> <br /> The '''political''' reasons for paying people are:<br /> * Recognising the massive amounts of unpaid labour that go into trans communities which are not recognised by capital.<br /> <br /> The reasoning behind relativity '''high''' (for "unskilled" wages, though low by other standards 'on theLeft' - London Renters Union pays approximately 150% of London living wage) are to enable people to live a '''survivable existence''': a "living wage" while working '''four days a week''', allowing more time for '''rest''' and '''recuperation''', as well as work on '''other interests'''. <br /> <br /> The reasoning for a '''flat wage''' is that it is assumed effort put in per hour per worker is the same, and as such should be compensated at the same rate. It is also worth noting that '''affective skills''' and '''feminised labour''' is historically '''undervalued''' in the labour market, and attempts to pay more for more "skilled" work will '''discriminate''' against against undervalued skillsets. <br /> <br /> QueerCare is aiming to move to '''one week payment periods'''. The reasoning behind this is that that many queer people live hand to mouth and waiting a month can mean that people are unable to support themselves whilst doing the work of supporting others.<br /> <br /> {{cite|Wages for Advocacy; Accessed: 2021-02-06|external|https://actionfortranshealth.org.uk/2016/02/12/wages-for-advocacy/}}</div>

<p>Ada: /* How to draw up medication */</p> <hr /> <div>{{draft protocol}}<br /> {{medical review}}<br /> Drawing up medication is part of [[:category:Injection protocol|doing an injection]]. It varies depending on the substance <br /> <br /> [[category:injection protocol]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == How to draw up medication ==<br /> <br /> * Attach the wider (smaller gauge, often blunt) needle onto the syringe.<br /> * Open the vial or medication container:<br /> [[File:Morphine_ampoule(cropped).jpeg|thumb|right|x300px|An ampoule]]<br /> ** An ampoule (see image) will need breaking. This should be done with an ampoule opener, if you have one, but can be done by holding it upright so that all liquid flows into the bottom, gripping the top with some gauze (or a tissue) in your other hand, and gently breaking it along the score line. Dispose of the top in a sharps bin. <br /> ** A vial with a rubber top can be punctured with the needle when it is used. <br /> ** A suspended powder (such as decapeptyl) will have two vials: one containing a powder, and the other containing a medium for it to suspend in. You will need to draw up the medium first.<br /> * Remove the cap from the needle and draw up the medication from vial. This can take up to a minute or so for viscous medications such as testosterone; for these you have to create a vacuum in the syringe and just wait until the medication fills the empty space.<br /> ** If you are injecting a suspended powder (such as decapeptyl), remove the needle from the medium vial and insert it into the powder vial. Inject the medium into the powder, shake the vial to pick up all the powder, and draw up all the mixture. <br /> * Replace lid on needle and flick to remove air bubbles.<br /> * Dispose of the medication container- if it is an ampoule with sharp edges, use a sharps bin. <br /> * Whilst holding syringe so that the needle is pointing up, remove the wider (smaller gauge) needle and dispose of it in a sharps bin.<br /> * Attach the thinner (larger gauge) needle and remove the lid.<br /> * Eject the air in the syringe until you see that a small amount of medication comes to the end of the needle. Replace the cap until you are ready to inject.</div>

<p>Ada: /* How to find an IM injection site */</p> <hr /> <div>{{review protocol}}<br /> {{medical review}}<br /> [[category:injection protocol]]<br /> This is a protocol for self-administering an intramuscular (IM) injection. This protocol is specific to administering testosterone but can be adapted to other IM injections. This protocol assumes the upper outer thigh as the injection site since this is the most accessible when self-injecting.<br /> <br /> It is not necessary to use two different gauges of needles but you do need to change the needle between drawing up and injecting.<br /> <br /> == How to find an IM injection site ==<br /> [[File:Thigh injection site.png|thumb|right]]<br /> === Thigh injection site ===<br /> * For thigh injection (recommended for self injection)<br /> ** divide your thigh horizontally into 3 sections<br /> ** aim the injection on the outer top part of this middle section<br /> === Buttock injection site ===<br /> [[File:Buttock injection.png|thumb|right| Aim for injection where the 'X's are]]<br /> * For buttock injection (recommended if someone else is doing the injection for you)<br /> ** divide each buttock into 4 parts<br /> ** aim the injection in the upper outer quarter, towards the hip bone<br /> <br /> == What to before an IM injection ==<br /> # You '''must''' check the medication is correct.

<p>Ada: /* How to draw up medication */</p> <hr /> <div>{{draft protocol}}<br /> {{medical review}}<br /> Drawing up medication is part of [[:category:Injection protocol|doing an injection]]. It varies depending on the substance <br /> <br /> [[category:injection protocol]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == How to draw up medication ==<br /> <br /> * Attach the wider (smaller gauge, often blunt) needle onto the syringe.<br /> * Open the vial or medication container:<br /> ** An ampoule (see fig. 1) will need breaking. This should be done with an ampoule opener, if you have one, but can be done by holding it upright so that all liquid flows into the bottom, gripping the top with some gauze (or a tissue) in your other hand, and gently breaking it along the score line. Dispose of the top in a sharps bin. <br /> ** A vial with a rubber top can be punctured with the needle when it is used. <br /> ** A suspended powder (such as decapeptyl) will have two vials: one containing a powder, and the other containing a medium for it to suspend in. You will need to draw up the medium first.<br /> * Remove the cap from the needle and draw up the medication from vial. This can take up to a minute or so for viscous medications such as testosterone; for these you have to create a vacuum in the syringe and just wait until the medication fills the empty space.<br /> ** If you are injecting a suspended powder (such as decapeptyl), remove the needle from the medium vial and insert it into the powder vial. Inject the medium into the powder, shake the vial to pick up all the powder, and draw up all the mixture. <br /> * Replace lid on needle and flick to remove air bubbles.<br /> * Dispose of the medication container- if it is an ampoule with sharp edges, use a sharps bin. <br /> * Whilst holding syringe so that the needle is pointing up, remove the wider (smaller gauge) needle and dispose of it in a sharps bin.<br /> * Attach the thinner (larger gauge) needle and remove the lid.<br /> * Eject the air in the syringe until you see that a small amount of medication comes to the end of the needle. Replace the cap until you are ready to inject.</div>
