Adult Critical Care Network
Contingency
Substantial work has been done on planning for a major contingency across Cheshire & Mersey, the NW region and nationally. Experience gained during the 2009 -2010 Pandemic H1N1 Influenza and the 2010-2011 H1N1 Influenza Outbreak has been applied to advance best practice in such events. This has also been applied to contingencies which may result in mass casualties requiring a co-ordinated response from multiple organisations. Please click here for the NHS England EPRR Framework.
