1 ENIVD CODE OF CONDUCT for Outbreak Assistance Laboratories CHECKLIST of major issues to address before departure and during the mission This document has been designed for ECDC and ENIVD-CLRN network members to allow more accurate interventions during outbreak assistance missions, as data from health laboratories, at the time of disease outbreaks or other public health events, are at the very heart of the public health investigation and response mechanisms. It is intended to remind laboratory experts of all the different aspects which should be looked at in preparation and during laboratory intervention in the field, to ensure proper handling of scientific, organisational, social and ethical issues when interacting with local partners, as well as participating network partners. It is based on conclusions drawn during the Expert meeting on ECDC outbreak assistance laboratories held in Stockholm, June 2007, which was intended to set the bases of the modes of collaboration between ECDC and Outbreak Assistance laboratories. including procedures, need for funding arrangements and other practical implications for collaboration. This document has been divided in 3 main sections: The first section addresses the generic Code of Conduct for Intervention in the field as defined by ENIVD based on WHO GOARN recommendations. This Code should be read and signed by all members of the team. The second section gathers information on all elements to consider before departure. The third section gathers information on essential elements to consider within the Outbreak Intervention Team during intervention in the field.
