1 NHS England Core Standards for Emergency preparedness, resilience and response v3.0 The attached EPRR Core Standards spreadsheet has 6 tabs: EPRR Core Standards tab - with core standards nos 1-37 (green tab) Pandemic Influenza :- with deep dive questions to support the pandemic influenza 'deep dive' for EPRR Assurance (blue) tab) HAZMAT/ CBRN core standards tab: with core standards nos Please note this is designed as a stand alone tab (purple tab) HAZMAT/ CBRN equipment checklist: designed to support acute and ambulance service in core standard 43 (lilac tab) MTFA Core Standard: designed to gain assurance against the MTFA service specification for ambulance service only (orange tab) HART Core Standards: designed to gain assurance against the HART service specification for ambulance service only (yellow tab). This document is V3.0. The following changes have been made : Inclusion of Pandemic Influenza questions to support the pandemic influenza 'deep dive' for EPRR Assurance Inclusion of the HART service specification for ambulance service and the reference to this in the EPRR Core Standards Inclusion of the MTFA service specification for ambulance service and the reference to this in the EPRR Core Standards Updated the requirements for primary care to more accurately reflect where they sit in the health economy update the requirement for acute service to have Chemical Exposure Assessment Kits (ChEAKs) (via PHE) to reflect that not all acute service have been issued these by PHE and to clarify the expectations for acute service in relation to supporting PHE in the collection of samples
2 Acute healthcare Self assessment RAG Core standard STFHT evidence Red = Not compliant with core standard and not in the EPRR work plan within the next Deep Dive Organisation have updated their pandemic influenza arrangements to reflect changes to the NHS and partner organisations, as well as lessons identified from the 2009/10 pandemic including through local debriefing DD1 updated planning arrangements reflect changes and learning version control indicates changes made and timeliness Complete change of approach. Plan is informed by Department of Health UK Influenza Pandemic Preparedness Strategy (2011), NHS England Operating Framework for Managing the Response to Pandemic Influenza (2013) and PHE North East Centre Pandemic Infuenza Operational Plan (2013). Version 1.0 written in March and version 2.0 signed off by BoD in August. Amber = Not compliant but evidence of progress and in the EPRR work plan for the next 12 DD2 DD3 DD4 Organisations have developed and reviewed their plans with LHRP and LRF partners Organisations have undertaken a pandemic influenza exercise or have one planned in the next six months Organisations have taken their plans to Boards / Governing bodies for sign off indication of the process used to develop updated arrangements, including identification of organisations involved in contributing or commenting on drafts agendas/ miniutes illustarting where the updated arrangements have been discussed documentation related to exercise since the 2013 publication, including lessons identified OR invitation letters/ documentation related to exercise scheduled to take place in next six months, including an indication of how lessons identified will be addressed Pandemic Flu was discussed with NTHFT, CDDFT, TEWV and NHS England in a meeting prior to the LHRP sub group on 10 March.

Step Plus) pre-determined decontamination locations and access to facilities management and decontamination processes for contaminated patients and fatalities in line with the latest guidance communications planning for public and other agencies interoperability with other relevant agencies access to national reserves / Pods plan to maintain a cordon / access control emergency / contingency arrangements for staff contamination plans for the management of hazardous waste stand-down procedures, including debriefing and the process of recovery and returning to (new) normal processes contact details of key personnel and relevant partner agencies Being able to provide documentary evidence of a regular process for monitoring, reviewing and updating and approving arrangements Version control Appendices to Major Incident Plan: Appendix 6 Incidents involving Chemical contamination, Appendix 7 Incidents Involving Biological Agents, Appendix 8 Incidents Involving Radioactive contamination Major Incident Plan is revised at least annually, unless organisational strucuture changes, guidance changes, or procedures need to be updated following an actual incident or exercise Work closely with NEAS when they notify A&E of numbers and conditions of casualties Communications via Twitter, and to LRF partners Appendix 9 in the MIP details the national stocks for which ambulance control room is first point of contact and those for which it is NHS England EPRR Duty Officer 39 Staff are able to access the organisation HAZMAT/ CBRN management plans. Decontamination trained staff can access the plan Site inspection IT system screen dump 40 HAZMAT/ CBRN decontamination risk assessments are in place which are appropriate to the organisation. Documented systems of work List of required competencies Impact assessment of CBRN decontamination on other key facilities Arrangements for the management of hazardous waste Appropriate HAZMAT/ CBRN risk assessments are incorporated into EPRR risk assessments (see core standards 5-7) MIP is on the intranet and printed A&E have action cards to follow Procedures to follow are listed in the Decontamination folder. Only appropriately trained staff undertake decontamination procedures. Buddy / control in operation outside decontamination room. Risk assessments include self presenters being sent outside to the Decontamination room, no formal contact by clinical staff until fully protected with appropriate PPE, assessment of whether wet or dry decontamination is appropriate (caustic chemical or not), whether to initiate partial lockdown. Section of Appendix 6 lists activities, a risk rating and the PPE which should be worn. Sources used to inform A&E of contaminants involved: TOXBASE, PHE (North East, CRCE and NPIS, NEAS and local COMAH site operators. 41 Rotas are planned to ensure that there is adequate and appropriate decontamination capability available 24/7. Resource provision / % staff trained and available Rota / rostering arrangements At JCUH: All band 6s and 7s have now been trained, so there are always suitably trained staff on each rota. Some 6s and 7s have been trained but are going through annual refresher training, Autumn Medics being trained by Lt Col Paul Hunt at his sessions. Other band 5s trained in suiting up (25 of these members of staff). 42 Staff on-duty know who to contact to obtain specialist advice in relation to a HAZMAT/ CBRN incident and this specialist advice is available 24/7. Decontamination Equipment 43 There is an accurate inventory of equipment required for decontaminating patients in place and the organisation holds appropriate equipment to ensure safe decontamination of patients and protection of staff. For example PHE, emergency services. Provision documented in plan / procedures Staff awareness Acute and Ambulance service - see Equipment checklist overleaf on separate tab Community, Mental Health and Specialist service - see Response Box in 'Preparation for Incidents Involving Hazardous Materials - Guidance for Primary and Community Care Facilities' (NHS London, 2011) (found at: Initial Operating Response (IOR) DVD and other material: completed inventory list (see overleaf) or Response Box (see Preparation for Incidents Involving Hazardous Materials - Guidance for Primary and Community Care Facilities (NHS London, 2011)) Appendix 6 in MIP (section 1.8) refers to TOXBASE. Decontamination file includes details for TOXBASE, PHE (North East Centre, CRCE and NPIS). (see Equipment Checklist tab) 44 The organisation has the expected number of PRPS suits (sealed and in date) available for immediate deployment should they be required (NHS England published guidance (May 2014) or subsequent later guidance when applicable) There is a plan and finance in place to revalidate (extend) or replace suits that are reaching the end of shelf life until full capability of the current model is reached in 2017 n/a trail from EPR Manager to Brian Simpson and Maxime Hewitt-Smith in Finance. 24 in date: last refitted Nov 2014, to be refitted 22 & 23 October 45 There are routine checks carried out on the decontamination equipment including: A) Suits B) Tents C) Pump D) RAM GENE (radiation monitor) E) Other decontamination equipment There is a named role responsible for ensuring these checks take place n/a A) Suits have not been used in an incident.
