Title: Update from the CAS Helpdesk: National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR) now accredited to issue National Patient Safety Alerts

Broadcast content:

The National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR) is the single point of contact for the UK’s health and care system and medical supply industry in the event of medical supply disruption that may require national support to help mitigate the impact on patients and/or service delivery. Mitigations can include coordination of mutual aid, work to identify alternative products, alternative clinical practices, regulatory easements, and/or use of the Express Freight Service (EFS).

The NSDR have received accreditation to issue National Patient Safety Alerts which we will issue through the CAS website in the usual way.

There are no download attachments with this message and no response via the CAS website is required.
