EPRR Network

Summary

NHS England states very clearly that the NHS needs to plan for, and respond to, a wide range of incidents and emergencies that could affect health or patient care. 


These could be anything from extreme weather conditions to an outbreak of an infectious disease or a major transport accident.  We must respond – while maintaining services. NPAG has a well-established National forum for all involved in Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR).  


The NPAG EPRR Network is increasingly important in supporting those with a lead role. Whilst cost pressures can make it more difficult for staff to get involved in such groups it has been recognised by EPRR members that the cost of joining is repaid several times over by the peer support and networking that takes place — enabling members to share good practice, documentation, procedures, responses to new guidance, etc.


One of the major benefits of the EPRR Networkis that it is a national group with members coming from across the country and thereby offering a greater range of sharing and learning. 


Meetings cover a range of topics including:
