Continuity West and critical incident planning in health. Our team understand working within the hospital environment. We advise on all aspects of business continuity and incident planning and preparation.

With the requirement for hospital trusts to be compliant with ISO: 22301 Business Continuity Management Systems. Our combined knowledge and experience ensure effective business continuity systems are developed, and standards are met. We are knowledgeable about the unique requirements of the NHS. With its varied, critical and complex systems.

You can place your strategic, tactical and operational plans in our risk and incident management system. We offer an affordable, secure, software solution.  For managing all risks and incidents, from minor to major.

Every action you undertake is recorded and stored in a log. Which can be used to protect you and your Trust against post-incident litigation. METHANE reports are included in the system.

As it is cloud-based, MIMS is accessible on multiple platforms. Incidents can be managed from any location on any device. MIMS comes with a number of pre-loaded plans (e.g. loss of building), then we will work with you to customise.

You can assign tasks and work collaboratively. Therefore responsibilities are clear and responses can be coordinated. MIMS enables swift communication through contact lists and messaging services. Plus all important documentation can be stored and managed.

Importantly, all incidents and comments are time and date stamped providing a full audit trail.


What we can do – our process

We tailor our MIMS technology to meet individual individual hospital and multi-hospital Trusts needs.

Working with senior leadership, we will carry out a business impact assessment. Create a training and support package to meet your needs. Then adapt MIMS to ensure it covers the risks and incidents which may affect you. It is not one-size-fits-all. MIMS is a bespoke risk and incident management system.

Our simulated exercises offer teams the chance to practise crisis scenarios. To test incident management plans. All in a safe learning environment and with feedback from our specialist team.
