If an traveller from a country with an outbreak presents to a hospital, the clinician can contact the Imported Fever Service (IFS) 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The IFS will advise on likelihood of a case, any immediate action to take and arrange for testing of the case through the Rare and Imported Pathogens Laboratory (RIPL). The IFS and/or RIPL will inform the National Health Service High Consequence Infectious Disease network, which will arrange for isolation and care of the case. A national incident team will manage any public health issues if required.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 05/12/2022 09:51:52 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
