The aim of the course is to bring a range of healthcare professionals together to consider the Facilities Management related risks that NHS Trust face that could impact on the resilience of their service delivery. Delegates will be walked through the legislative and operational context within which they operate such that they are best able to assess their risks and develop business continuity plans to support organisations recover in the event of an incident.

Who is the course for

• Deputy Directors and Directors of Estates
• Heads of Estates
• Board Directors Accountable for Estates and Health and Safety
• Non-Executive Directors Accountable for Estates and Health and Safety
• Health and Safety Leads
• EPRR Leads
• FM Specialist Contractors
• Joint Negotiating and Consultation Committee (JNCC) Members

Aims & objectives

The aspiration is that FM professionals will better understand EPRR professionals and what they do and vice versa, whilst also recognising the essential role that Health and Safety Leads play in both disciplines; and the risk assessment tools that they use.

This course is an excellent opportunity to bring multiple leaders, from across several disciplines, together to utilise the shared learning environment to workshop their own issues and sow the seeds for future cooperation and effectiveness.

The course will be particularly interesting in the context of Integrated Care Systems evolving responsibilities for Estates, and for EPRR within the National EPRR Framework.

BY THE END OF THE COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand the Civil Contingencies Act, that underpins EPRR
• Understand the NHS England EPRR Framework and the responsibilities of parties
• Understand the membership and responsibilities of the Local Resilience Forums (LRF)
• Understand Critical Infrastructure in healthcare
• Business Continuity Plans and Mutual Aid
