The Emergency Preparedness and Response Training Programme

The training division works with partner organisations to deliver specialist courses for healthcare providers and managers. These courses enable delegates to respond effectively to major incidents of all kinds, including the deliberate release of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials.

The Emergency Response Division Exercise Programme

The Emergency Response Division is running a series of exercises to test emergency preparedness in the health service community. These exercises test and improve the current emergency health plans, helping to ensure that a wide cross-section of organisations can respond in a rapid and co-ordinated way to any deliberate release of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.
