NHS England Midlands home page

Welcome to the new home of bookings for NHS England Midlands EPRR.

We currently offer Principles of Health Command training for staff engaged in EPRR Strategic and Tactical on call from across the Midlands region, through a 4.5-hour online training session delivered through MS Teams. Final joining instructions and pre reading will be shared a week in advance when you also receive your Teams invitation to the event. We will require prompt confirmation of attendance upon receipt of the invitation in order for numbers to be confirmed to the trainers. This training has been designed to replace the previous strategic leadership course and should be supported by localised on call training from your specific organisation. There are 16 spaces available in each session, restricted to a maximum of two per organisation to ensure fairness and to achieve a blend and range of abilities. Bookings close two weeks before each event.

The course is split into 8 units and allows for rest breaks as needed;

• UNIT 1 - Legal foundations of Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response.

• UNIT 2 - Integrated Emergency Management and risk.

• UNIT 3 - Core concepts of command. control, coordination, and Communication (C4).

• UNIT 4 - Responding to emergencies.

• UNIT 5 - Defensible decision making and logging.

• UNIT 6 - Managing an incident.

• UNIT 7 - Strategy.

• UNIT 8 - Debriefs and inquiries.

A skills and feedback form should be completed at the end of the course before you can be signed off. This is analysed nationally, locally and at a Trust level prior to the issuing of your certificate of attendance and slides from the presentation which will be delivered electronically at the same time. The qualification validity is three years. Please share your booking with your EPRR Lead for their training records. If you don't know who it is, please find out before you book onto this course as more localised training specific to your organisation is essential to complete your learning.

Unfortunately, periods of ongoing Industrial Action may make it necessary to cancel courses, we aim to give as much notice as possible and will endeavour to rebook you if this becomes necessary.

If you have any questions, please contact the EPRR Team at england.midlands-eprr@nhs.net

Best wishes,
