A recent national exercise brought together colleagues across Cheshire’s local resilience system, demonstrating the strength of partnership and leadership. From active participants to remote support teams, the planning group, and the organisers, every contribution reflected a shared commitment to safeguarding public health and wellbeing.
The leadership shown throughout the process ensured clarity, coordination, and confidence in decision-making, reinforcing the value of working as one system.
Key highlights included:
- Strong engagement and buy-in from all partners throughout the exercise.
- Valuable networking, building confidence, and strengthening knowledge across the system.
- A robust approach to protecting public health and wellbeing, underpinned by collective expertise and experience.
- Shared learning, enabling partners to enhance preparedness and refine collective approaches.
Rachael Flynn, Practice Manager in Health Protection at Halton Borough Council paid thanks to the participants from across the Cheshire footprint, saying:
“A huge thank you to everyone who played a part, with special recognition to the Cheshire Resilience Forum for organising the exercise, Cheshire Constabulary for hosting and chairing the exercise, and to the Directors of Public Health for their leadership and support.”
“It has been a busy few months, but truly a privilege and a pleasure to work together as a system. This collaboration not only strengthens preparedness but also builds resilience for future challenges.”
