Management of outbreaks of foodborne illness in England and Wales (11th February 2008)
The purpose of this document is to provide a framework for health professionals to assist them in the management of outbreaks of infectious intestinal disease caused by ingestion of microbiologically contaminated food. It is designed to assist the Outbreak Control Team (OCT) in dealing with an outbreak and provides an aide-memoir for medical and nursing staff, environmental health professionals, scientists and others involved in the investigation. This document updates Management of Outbreaks of Foodborne Disease (Department of Health 1994), reflecting the changes in roles and responsibilities of public bodies in 2008 following key reorganisations since 1994.
