Exercise Winter Willow

Over 5,000 people from a large number of UK organisations representing government, industry and the voluntary sector participated in Exercise Winter Willow, with a common aim to check our preparation for the major disruptive challenges that an influenza pandemic may bring. The Exercise gave us an excellent opportunity to thoroughly test our plans and preparedness and was a huge logistical and organisational feat, which in itself has provided a wealth of learning which can be shared both nationally and internationally.
