§ Miss Melanie JohnsonThe primary purpose of all major incident exercises is to identify lessons that can be used internally as a means of improving plans and training in all participating organisations. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) ensures that rigorous debriefing takes place following such events and that specific lessons are identified and shared with national health service and other participating organisations. An executive summary of the report of exercises—specifically identifying any general lessons learnt—will be placed on the HPA website at www.hpa.org.uk to ensure that the information is more widely disseminated.
