This page will be updated continuously with new versions of the guidance as new information on the current pandemic is made available. Please keep checking this page for the latest information. The guidance has been produced as part of good practice contingency planning and we encourage providers to familiarise themselves with the information provided in this document. This document is provided as a service to UKHCA members and updates of the information will be available from this page. Pandemic 'flu contingency plan template for domiciliary careThe UKHCA member helpline has taken a number of calls from members about business contingency planning templates for swine 'flu. This template for UKHCA members provides some ideas as to what homecare organisations could be thinking about and can use as preparation for a flu pandemic. It is not a wholly comprehensive list, nor will all the suggestions be applicable in different organisations, however it provides a basis for organisations to feed into their own contingency planning arrangements. Download the Pandemic 'flu contingency plan template for domiciliary care Nobody – not even governments – knows whether a pandemic will happen in the next 10 years, or which strain of virus will be responsible if a pandemic occurs. 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. Organisations may also be interested in UKHCA's Infection Control Pack which consists of a training guide, written exercises, overhead projector slides, glossary, answers to frequently asked questions on the UKHCA Helpline, and CD covering all parts of the package. The pack is £28.75 per copy for UKHCA members and £53.75 for non-members. We hope you find this information useful.
