WM Incident Response Plan

Who is the plan for?

The plan is primarily for NHS England – West Midlands On Call staff who form the Incident Management Team. It sets out the NHS England – West Midlands response to a significant health related incident/emergency. It also describes Command and Control, Coordination, Communication & Information sharing arrangements for the locality NHS Organisations.

The plan describes what needs to happen, and who needs to do what, should a significant health related incident/emergency occur. Directors/Managers must ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with the plan and that they are ready and able to mount an immediate (24/7) response in accordance with the plan.
