  • promotes a consistent approach to, and understanding of, resilience;
  • defines and demonstrates the importance of resilience in the context of health;
  • provides tangible and practical methods for applying resilience principles to all NHS-funded organizations;
  • identifies the BCM processes and the statutory and policy framework that enable health economies to respond to, and recover from, disruptions;
  • highlights the relationship between the commissioning and the provision of healthcare services in the context of resilience;
  • provides guidance for the implementation of resilience
