Emergency Planning, Response & Resilience

POPH64132 Emergency Planning, Response & Resilience 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Anjana Sahu Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 The course is designed to provide a theoretical grounding in Emergency Planning, Response & Resilience (EPRR) for health care professionals with a responsibility for emergency planning and resilience and an introduction to the subject for those with an interest.The unit will enable students to study the evidence base underpinning major incident and emergency management, with case studies, in order to develop a critical view of resilience and capacity management. The course will provide students with an ability to critically review major incident planning and explore some of the specialist incident types that require a dedicated response. Students will review the UK legislative framework surrounding major incident planning and resilience as a basis to discuss regional, national and international responses to multiple casualty events. Students will also gain an understanding of the health effects of chemical, biological, radiation and climate related hazards.

This unit aims for students to gain an understanding of the principles of emergency planning, response and resilience and their application in a range of situations. <figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Category of outcome:</td><td>Students will be able to: </td></tr><tr><td>Knowledge and understanding</td><td>Recognise key definitions, concepts and frameworks that underpin EPRRDemonstrate a working knowledge of legislation, policy & guidelines relating to EPRR in healthcareExplore the health effects and impacts of a range of hazardsAppreciate the link between socio-economic factors, health outcomes and how these can impact on the populationRecognise the key features of international frameworks that govern EPRRDescribe the structures involved in multi-agency EPRR and appreciate their rolesDemonstrate an understanding of the identification, assessment, planning and mitigation process for managing risk</td></tr><tr><td>Intellectual skills</td><td>Critically review plans and critically analyse the response to emergenciesDemonstrate the ability to apply emergency planning, preparedness, resilience and response approaches to a range of scenariosApply approaches to emergency preparedness, resilience, and response to different scenarios, making sound judgments and communicating decisions clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences</td></tr><tr><td>Practical skills</td><td>Work collaboratively through a range of EPRR scenarios – teamworkDemonstrate the ability to communicate clearly to a range of audiences</td></tr><tr><td>Transferable skills and personal qualities</td><td>Apply the principles of evidence-based practice</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> Analytical skills This module will require analytical skills to assess the risks involved in emergencies. Students will use evidence provided from case studies, in order to develop a critical view of resilience and capacity management Group/team working Students will work individually and in groups and contribute to group work in a discussion board. Project management Students will be able to demonstrate project management skills thorough identifying, assessing and planning the mitigation processes for managing risks and reacting to incidents. The syllabus for the Emergency Planning Response and Resilience (EPRR) unit includes: <ul><li>Introduction to EPRR and legislation and guidance</li><li>Assessing risk</li><li>Risk mitigation and planning</li><li>Training and exercising</li><li>Response</li><li>Integrated emergency management/command and control</li><li>Exploring the response, recovery phase and resilience</li><li>Communication, warning and informing the public</li><li>Debrief, report writing and lessons learned</li><li>International frameworks relating to public health and EPRR</li></ul> This is an optional course unit for students on the web-based learning programme. There will be written materials by the tutors guiding students through the course, illustrated with photographs and figures to illustrate the rich topic areas. Much of the content will be presented through reading, including peer reviewed journals (accessible through the University library), and multimedia, including videos. Students will be directed to a variety of relevant literature each week, but also encouraged to research and explore and find their own sources.There will be regular interaction with the tutors through scheduled webinars (which will be recorded and made available) and through the online discussion boards. Students will be encouraged to use self-reflection to think about the ideas discussed and take part in discussion board activities. Students should work through the unit in a logical sequence. The individual course unit timetables will guide what should be done and when. Participation in the discussion boards is greatly encouraged and can help enhance your learning experience and prepare you for your assessment.Familiarity with major incident planning is not a pre-requisite of the course but if students have knowledge or experience of this, they are encouraged to share this as basis for discussions if they wish to do so.In line with guidance from the Office for Students and Quality Assurance Agency, the programme will be augmented by the Programme Director Seminar Series to deliver study skills, written English, academic writing, research skills, critical thinking and understanding arguments, careers and employability skills, revision/assessment/examination skills including time management.  2 Written assignment (inc essay) 100% <div>Students will be provided with personalised feedback for their final summative assignment (3,000 words or equivalent) within 20 working days from submission.Further opportunities for formative feedback (on non-assessed work) will also be provided during a course unit. </div> PG Dip in Public Health PGDp Pub.Hlth (Public Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp Pub.Hlth (Global Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp Public Health (Imp Sci) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH (Environmental Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH Occupational Health PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH (Communicable Disease) PGDT Taught Component Mandatory PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH (Dental PH) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH Evidence Based Healthc PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Dip in Public Health PGDp PH (Health Sciences) PGDT Taught Component Optional Public Health Prof Dev Public Health Prof Dev PGDT Taught Component Optional Public Health Prof Dev Public Health Prof Dev (ACF) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (60) MRes Primary Care (60) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (60) MRes Public Health (60) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (60) MRes Primary Care (ACF) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (60) MRes Public Health (ACF) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (60) MRes Dental Public Health PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (12) MRes Primary Care (12) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (12) MRes Public Health (12) PGDT Taught Component Optional Masters of Research (12) MRes Dental Public Health PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PG Cert in Public Health PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PG Cert PH (Global Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCert PH (Imp Science) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCt PH (Environment & PH) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCert Pub Health (Occ Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCt PH (Communicable Disease) PGDT Taught Component Mandatory PG Cert in Public Health PGCert PH (Dental PH) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCert Public Health (EBH) PGDT Taught Component Optional PG Cert in Public Health PGCert PH (Health Sciences) PGDT Taught Component Optional MPH: the evidence bsd app (60) MPH (Public Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional MPH: the evidence bsd app (60) MPH (Global Health) PGDT Taught Component Optional MPH: the evidence bsd app (60) MPH (GH -
