NHS England has commissioned Public Health England’s Emergency Response Department to organise an EPRR conference. Aim: To explore how the emergency planning cycle can be reinforced within Health and to agree how lessons identified from incidents and exercises can be learned. There will be presentations from 2017 incidents (including terrorist) and the lessons identified from these; and what were the barriers to good outcomes.There will be 6 interactive discussion sessions which all delegates are expected to join.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is responsible for planning, preventing and responding to external health threats, and providing intellectual, scientific and operational leadership at national and local level, as well as on the global stage. UKHSA will ensure the nation can respond quickly and at greater scale to deal with pandemics and future threats. As a Category One responder under the Civil Contingencies Act, we provide Emergency Preparedness and Response Training and Exercises for our staff and external stakeholders. Attendance at some of our events are provided to third parties on a commercial basis subject to availability of places.
