Did you know that a Pandemic Flu outbreak may cause, in a company of 150 employees, two deaths?

Did you know that the normal flu virus alone kills 3-4,000 people each year?

Is your company prepared?

Chaired by Dr Quentin Sandifer, Deputy Regional Director of Public Health, and Dr James Sedgwick of the Health Protection Agency, this hands-on one-day course will teach you how to prepare your company for the effects of an outbreak and the ways in which to minimize those effects on your bottom line. Space is limited to maximize experiential learning. Topics covered include:

  • Pandemic flu - everything a business needs to know
  • The fundamentals of emergency preparedness and response
  • A 'real-life' exercise - managing your company's response to a pandemic flu outbreak
  • The way forward and a question-and-answer session with the professionals

Suitable for those accountable for occupational physicians, HR managers and directors, corporate governance officers and risk managers.
