NHS Providers - Emergency Preparedness, Resilience & Response (EPRR)

Helping NHS organisations stay compliant, confident and ready

Details

Applied Resilience partners with multiple NHS providers across the UK—including large community health services and integrated care organisations—to strengthen their approach to Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR). Our support ensures that frontline care remains safe and effective during disruption, and that leadership teams have the confidence, clarity and capability to meet their statutory duties.

Each of our NHS clients operates in a unique context, but all face common pressures: growing expectations, complex system change, and the operational realities of delivering care during emergencies. Our flexible, scalable model allows us to meet these challenges head-on.

How we support

Across our NHS partnerships, we provide:

- Strategic resilience advice to senior managers, boards and accountable emergency officers
- End-to-end delivery of EPRR programmes, including strategy, plans, risk assessments and guidance documents
- Representation and support across Local Resilience Forums (LRFs), Local Health Resilience Partnerships (LHRPs), and ICB-level groups
- Training and exercising for clinical and corporate teams, aligned with NHS Core Standards and the latest Resilience NOS
- 24/7 incident support, including live guidance, escalation advice and response coordination

A model built for change

We understand that the NHS is evolving—mergers, restructures and ICB-led coordination all demand flexibility, adaptability, and continuity of assurance. Our model is designed with this in mind:

- Scalable support that flexes with your organisational footprint and internal capacity
- No fixed-day limitations—you get access to advice and delivery when and where you need it
- Coordinated input across multiple services and geographies, helping join up planning, representation and delivery
- Cross-system learning—insight from our wider work with local authorities, other NHS bodies and multi-agency forums
- Safe transition options—including support to bring EPRR in-house when the time is right, with no disruption to service

Impact

Our NHS partners benefit from:

- Sustained compliance with EPRR Core Standards
- Stronger internal ownership and understanding of resilience
- Greater visibility and influence within system-level resilience forums
- Clearer leadership assurance before, during and after disruption
