Tomorrow, Friday, 8th November 2024, we will be working alongside the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, West Yorkshire Police and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue to hold a simulation exercise in the A&E Department at HRI.
The exercise, planned for the morning, aims to test and strengthen the multi-agency response of our emergency services in the event of a major incident in our region and is one of a number of exercises that regularly take place across West Yorkshire.
The teams will be practicing a decontamination scenario, so on the day you may see several people outside the department dressed in hazmat suits and an increased number of emergency service vehicles.
The exercise presents no risk to the public or our staff and will not impact on the front-line services of the emergency department or emergency services, which will be open as normal.
The road that runs alongside the A&E Department will be closed to traffic during the exercise, and traffic marshals will be on hand to direct people.
