Incident Management
Health Protection Incident Management is a generic term used to define the range of measures taken in response to specific outbreaks or incidents that threaten the health of the public.
In 2009 NES and HPS through HPEAG produced 'An education and training outline for health protection incident management in Scotland' (pdf).
The overall aim of the outline is to influence the development of a consistent and coherent approach to education and training for health protection incident management. It can achieve this by setting out the general areas applicable to all education and training in the field, with the expectation that individuals pursuing education development in specialist areas would progress from this generic foundation.
