Buckinghamshire outbreak control plan for care homes

The outbreak control plan has been developed to provide operational guidelines for the management of outbreaks of coronavirus in care homes.

This will be directly relevant to care homes, but will also be useful to other organisations who are working with care homes.

To accompany the plan, we have produced a checklist and action plan template. These may be used to develop the response to an outbreak in a care home. However, you may also want to use these templates to review your current policies and practice. This will help you identify any potential areas for improvement in practice that might help to reduce the risk of coronavirus transmission within your care setting.
