Does your organisation need a major incident plan? Is your current plan out-of-date and perhaps not fit for purpose? Perhaps you are working on the basis of a former plan compiled by the PCT?

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 above
