(HPPs), with supervision from health protection consultants. The HPPs are supported
by administrative staff for the collation of the health assessment forms, prior to
the risk categorisation.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is a clear evidence-based
algorithm to follow for screening staff at ports. All of the screening staff members
have had specific training on the guidelines. In addition, screening staff have also

personal protective equipment, and have been trained in the correct use of a tympanic
thermometer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>We have a planned programme of continuous
quality improvement, incorporating learning to date from early implementation of the
screening programme.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
