Debriefing Objectives • Identify gaps in Pandemic preparedness planning • Prioritise actions to be taken and next steps • Discussion and questions on simulation
Planning elements • Organisational Structure – modes of operation to be used during the various stages of pandemic including the command and control and mechanisms for internal coordination. • Triggers – identification of triggers, policies and actions to be taken based on the agreed organisational structure. • Continuity of operations – prioritisation of essential programmes to be continued and identification of the requirements / resources needed to ensure this continuity. • Staff health and safety – measures to be considered in order to ensure staff are able to continue to provide essential services. • Support to National Government– assistance to national planning and preparedness and identification and planning for possible additional support during pandemic • External communications – determine the protocols and messages for external communications
Gap analysis – session one • Identify a rapporteur for the group • Group discussion and identification of 4-5 key gaps / requirements based on the simulation. • Findings to be recorded on the flip chart. • Each group rapporteur to provide a 5 minute summary of the findings of the group.
Feedback from the Facilitator Strengths & Weaknesses of Influenza Contingency Planning
Prioritisation – session two • Break down in same groups. • Prioritisation of findings based on the last session and discussion. • Action • Reason why a priority? • Who is responsible for the action? • What resources are required? • By when? • Each group rapporteur to provide a 5 minute summary of the findings of the group.
Summary – The way forward • To be added based on the findings of the simulation. This should be lead by the participant.
