However, it has been previously reported that deficiencies in health emergency planning exist and the evidence-base for this is uncertain. This study day will cover the latest research findings from a study funded by the National Institute of Health Research exploring the gaps in the evidence-base for health emergency planning. (Lee et al., 2012) There will also be workshops exploring current emergency planning issues such as Extreme events Building community resilience and the National Decision-making Model Who will benefit from the study day?
