Planning for more resilient healthcare in emergencies under increasing risks and decreasing budgets
The Health and Care Infrastructure Research and Innovation Centre is organising a workshop 'Planning for more resilient healthcare in emergencies under increasing risks and decreasing budgets' that aims to bring together a multi disciplinary group to share their experiences and discuss how the resilience of emergency services to major incidents and extreme weather events could be improved. It will explore and discuss:
• potential risks associated with extreme weather events and emergency departments;
• potential impact of budget cutbacks on emergencies;
• possibilities for more effective use of resources to better manage emergencies;
• strategies for effective collaboration, other services; and
• short- and long-term priorities for emergency services.
