Our Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response and Infection Prevention and Control teams have developed a new Trust wide Outbreak Plan. This plan provides detailed guidance on how to manage various outbreaks such as respiratory outbreaks including COVID-19, Influenza, gastroenteritis and managing major outbreaks. The plan clearly defines the arrangements with roles and responsibilities supported by series of action cards for various outbreak scenarios. Guidance in relation to outbreak management has been removed from the IPC manual.
