- An improved Major Incident Plan for your hospital trust

- Confidence that your Major Incident Plan will work
- Assurance that your Major Incident Plan conforms to all Government
guidance
Does your hospital need a major incident plan? Is your current plan
out-of-date and perhaps not fit for purpose? Or maybe you would like
the plan reviewed to ensure it’s of the highest possible quality,
meets NHS expectations, and actually helps your staff to respond to a
major incident?
We provide the following services:
- Creation of Major Incident Plan from scratch.
- Document review of current plans and arrangements at low cost (less
than £300)
- Testing and exercising of your plan – see tests and exercises

EVACUATION PLANS
BENEFITS
- A whole hospital Evacuation Plan
- Plan linked to assistance from outside agencies
All hospital trusts have part-evacuation plans in place but very few
have whole-site evacuation plans. Those that do tend to end with patients
and staff outside of the hospital on the car park with no longer-term
strategy for onward care and long term recovery.
Patrick has recently revamped the Emergency Planning College’s
Emergency Shelter and Evacuation course and is knowledgeable about all
aspects of hospital evacuation.

issue – it’s not as difficult as you might think!
