HPS has produced national competency frameworks for PPE for infectious diseases of high consequence (IDHC). These frameworks are underpinned by a systematic literature review and intended as resources to support the assessment and recording of staff competency i the use of PPE for infectious disease threats such as pandemic influenza or viral haemorrhagic fevers.

HPS is currently consulting with professional colleagues across the UK on related work and this framework is published as draft and may be updated based on the outcomes of this related work.
