The United Kingdom Homecare Association Ltd | April, 2009 | ISBN: R20090502B | 21 pages | PDF | 6,4 MBContingency planning is a necessity for all businesses, and domiciliary care agencies are no exception. In the last two years, UKHCA has been directly involved in the Department of Healths planning for the future possibility of pandemic flu (a worldwide outbreak of influenza that can be passed from one human to another).
Nobody not even governments knows whether a pandemic will happen in the next 10 years,which strain of virus will be responsible if a pandemic occurs. At the time of writing (April 2009) there is a concern that an outbreak of swine influenza in the UK will become a pandemic. Regardless of the timescale, the services of homecare providers will be essential for the wellbeing of service users and the ability of homecare workers to maintain their health and safety while working under exceptional circumstances.
