Shield critical operations during times of disruption
Building Resilience in the Healthcare Industry With World-Leading BCMS
Healthcare services, such as NHS Trusts, are responsible for safeguarding and promoting the health and well-being of individuals and communities.
Served as the frontline defence in times of emergencies, disease outbreaks, and public health crises, healthcare organisations are expected and required to have robust business continuity plans (BCPs) to continue delivering critical services and support emergency services.

Planning for Business Continuity in the Healthcare Sector
Effective BC planning involves establishing critical functions, identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities, creating response plans by prioritising resources for quick recovery, training employees, and testing the plans regularly. Without a proactive approach in place, healthcare organisations may risk disruptions in patient care, compromised operations, potential harm to both patients and staff, and long-term damage to health as a foundation to society.

A BCM software tool can help identify potential threats and the impact on business operations those threats, if realised, might cause. The software can also assist in simulating and testing EPRR plans through scenario-based exercises to evaluate their effectiveness.
Providing a Resilient Response to Health Emergencies
By prioritising resilience, healthcare providers can ensure the safety of patients, staff, and communities, as well as effectively manage and mitigate the impact of emergencies. This involves developing emergency protocols, establishing robust communication channels, and mobilising necessary resources.

FAQs
What is Business Continuity?
Business continuity is the planning and preparation required to ensure the organisation can maintain its operations when unexpected or disruptive events occur. With the right tool, the organisation can develop and implement a successful business continuity plan that withstands disruptions and maintain and recover operations as effectively and efficiently as possible.
What is Operational Resilience?
Operational Resilience refers to the collective ability of an organisation’s workforce, culture, and structure to maintain critical functions during unexpected events or disruptions. Resilient organisations are built with strong employee engagement where people work and collaborate with a shared purpose.
Who is responsible for the Business Continuity plan?
In resilient organisations, the Emergency Planning Officer usually oversees business continuity plans to ensure that the organisation can continue to run in the event of emergencies or disruptions. The job title can vary, including Emergency Management Specialist, Emergency/Disaster Preparedness Coordinator, and Crisis Management Officer.
Is Business Continuity a legal requirement for health services?
In the United Kingdom, Category 1 responders, including NHS bodies, emergency services, and local authorities, have a legal obligation to implement adequate contingency plans in order to maintain public safety and guarantee that essential services can still be provided. They must plan for emergencies, including setting up methods for coordination with other emergency and local services and communication with the public, under the Civil Contingencies Act.
What is Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR)?
Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) is a comprehensive framework that all NHS organisations and providers of NHS-funded services must address and comply with in order to maintain critical services in times of disruption, under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the Health and Care Act 2022.
