NHS England has made its latest Business Continuity Management Toolkit openly available, providing a useful resource for the profession.
The new guidance, version 2 of the NHS BCM toolkit, is driven by the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle and has been updated in line with ISO 22301 principles and the BCI Business Continuity Good Practice Guidelines.
Under the UK Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012 (as amended), all NHS organizations have a duty to put in place business continuity arrangements.
