Responding quickly to emergency situations

An emergency is, in most cases, unpredictable. This does not mean, however, that disaster recovery plans cannot be made to alleviate the impact that such an emergency would have.

In the case of an emergency, mobile facilities can:

• Vastly reduce the time taken to restore vital patient services
• Provide a cost-effective alternative to outsourcing services to private hospitals
• Help to protect the revenue of NHS Trusts
• Be deployed as self-contained ‘satellite’ facilities, remote from the scene of a flood or fire
• Build the reputation of NHS Trusts as forward-thinking problem solvers
