Is your practice or pharmacy ready for the next natural disaster? We can help your team by leading a tabletop exercise at your site. Guided discussion about what has happened before, what could happen, and how your business will respond will be led by CPRG Emergency Management Lead, Hanna Sorby. Talk to your practice relationship manager, PHO, or CCPG to get in touch, or email us directly on admin@cprg.org.nz.

Measles Update

The National Public Health Service (NPHS) wants to alert clinicians to an escalating national risk of measles with two new measles cases yesterday in Manawatu and Nelson. These latest two cases appear to be from community transmission as none of the cases are linked to each other. NPHS is managing contacts linked to multiple exposure events in all three regions. Locations of interest are reported here: Measles: Locations of interest in Aotearoa New Zealand

A reminder to primary care providers – do you know the immunisation status of your staff? This is a crucial part of your business continuity planning and will benefit you and the public health team in the case of exposure.

Reminder – Healthcare Provider Emergency Readiness Survey Closes Soon!

With support from Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora (Te Waipounamu), CPRG has developed a short survey for General Practice and Community Pharmacy to understand current emergency planning strengths and where improvements may be useful.   Responses will only be reported in a summarised, non-identifiable way.
