Foreword:
Maintaining and improving the health of our communities is at the heart of
public service delivery. Health Protection and ensuring an effective response
to outbreaks of disease is a crucial part of this. Whilst the response to
outbreaks isn’t new and whilst our local health economy routinely
demonstrates that it has effective arrangements in place it is important that we
review our arrangements, and that the organisations and people who need to
work together in partnership are aware of each other’s roles and
responsibilities for a range of scenarios.
This plan has been developed to ensure clarity on operational roles and
responsibilities for each responding organisation in the event of an outbreak. It
is intended to act as a companion to the GM Multi-agency Outbreak Plan,
providing operational detail helping responders quickly provide an effective
and coordinated approach to outbreaks of communicable disease. It is
important for each organisation, having signed off this plan, to support staff to
engage in appropriate exercising to embed the multi-agency response to an
outbreak and create familiarity over key tasks.

Flu swabbing packs are held by the local HP Team or can be posted out first class from MRI (PHE) Lab.
Transport to lab
Hand deliver – Stool sample. For enteric outbreak care homes to hand deliver to SRFT Microbiology lab. Must have ILOG number
Samples can be passed to SCHP, where possible talking them direct to the lab would be best practice so samples are processed promptly. Ensure all outbreak samples have an ILOG number attached. ILOG to be obtained from MRI (PHE) Lab.
Prior to an OCT being set up, PHE will liaise directly with relevant partners to recommend and coordinate investigations. Once an OCT is set up, the OCT will agree on coordination of investigations.The types of investigation involved usually include:
Epidemiological investigation: establishing links between cases/sources based on questioning of cases/NOK and information on settings. Microbiological investigations: where a sample is taken and sent for analysis to a laboratory. There are 2 types:
o Clinical sampling: from human tissue (blood, respiratory secretions, salivary, faeces etc)o Environmental sampling: e.g. water, work surfaces etc.

Prior to an OCT being set up, PHE will liaise directly with relevant partners to recommend and coordinate control measures. Once an OCT is set up, the OCT will agree on coordination of control measures.
Control measures usually include:
o Identifying and controlling on-going sources. e.g. A cooling tower suspected of aerosolising Legionella, or a food premise with unsafe food preparation practice
o Preventing/limiting onwards spreado Reducing likelihood of severe illness in specific vulnerable groups: usually by prompt post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
Where compliance with recommendations around control measures is an issue, enforcement powers may be used. For the purposes of outbreaks and health protection incidents, the bulk of enforcement powers lie with LA.

2.5 Funding Arrangements
Guiding principles:
o Protection of human health takes priority over funding challenges/financial discussions
o Where a local arrangement is in place re delivery of a certain aspect of the response (e.g. delivering an immunisation session in a school setting): partners must actively:
o Involve key decision makers form the relevant agency to formally approve the agreement (i.e. do not assume that the organisation will do it)
o Consider whether activity should be absorbed in existing contracts or whether additional funding is required and if so, which commissioner will sort this?
o Key commissioners in Salford health economy include:o CCG, which commissions: SRFT, GPs Community NHS providers via SRFT,
TB serviceso LA PH, which commission 0 to 19 Childrens Health Service, Sexual Health,
Drug and Alcohol, CIPC teams. ?????o GM Health and Social Care Partnership (GMHSCP), which commission
Pharmacy services, Dental services. ?????o LA Environmental Health, commission Bureau Veritas ??????o NHSE Commission SRFT Childrens Immunisation Team

Annex 5: Teleconference Details and Protocol
Dial-in number: Chairperson Passcode:Participant Passcode:
For further information; https://www2.bt.com/static/i/media/pdf/meet_me_intro_ug.pdf
In order for a teleconference to run smoothly, participants must follow certain rules of etiquette while on the call.
Conference call etiquette- Chair Send handout materials/documents in advance if possible so attendees will have an
opportunity to review beforehand. Be on time, and stress the importance of being on time to other participants. Choose a location with little background noise. Determine who will take minutes for the meeting (this should not be the teleconference
chair). Select a phone with the handset attached. Mobile or and cordless phones often add
annoying static to the call. Draft and if possible agree an agenda prior to or at the beginning of the call. Compile a list of callers in advance if possible. At the start of the call go through the list of callers to establish who is present. Ask them
to introduce themselves and their agency. Emphasise to all callers that they MUST keep their phones on mute unless they wish to
speak. Encourage participants to state their name when speaking to ensure it is clear who is
contributing. Direct questions to a specific person instead of posing them to the audience at large
where appropriate. Speak clearly and pause frequently especially when delivering complicated material. Before ending the call ask all callers if they have any further input. At the end of the call, summarise the key actions and agree the next meeting date and
time.
Conference call etiquette – Participants The ‘mute’ button should be used at all times unless you are speaking to the conference
this avoids any back ground noise pollution Callers should treat a conference call like any other meeting. Choose a location with little background noise Select a phone with the handset attached. Mobile or and cordless phones often add
annoying static to the call. If you do have to use a mobile phone in a car, please park up and turn off the radio and
engine to reduce background noise when speaking. If calling individually try to avoid using speakerphone as this can lead to excess
background noise and may reduce the quality of your call. Be sure to keep your mobile phone turned off or at least a few feet away from the
telephone you are using as it can create a 'hum' when active. Make a list of any issues you need to raise and note where they can slot into the agenda. Introduce yourself when speaking. Take care not to rustle paper, type or make a noise that might disturb the call when your
line is open.
