- 2nd Edition
This second edition includes 12 new chapters, covering new and emerging topics such as COVID-19 pandemics, genomics epidemiology, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and concepts and framework for future pandemic preparedness. The chapters are arranged into six distinct sections. Each chapter provides trustworthy evidence and a wealth of practical advice, including case studies in community and hospital settings, and practical scenarios. The real-life scenarios provide topic-specific information, explore a wide range of responses using the 'what if' questions that are supported by tools of the trade to encourage reflection, and reinforce consolidation of knowledge.
The book also includes a unique tool of self-contained checklists (SIMCARDS) covering more than 180 common and important topics that can arise in health protection practice (including those featured in the scenario chapters), with concise and succinct stand-alone quick reference guides on how to handle them within and out-of-hours.
This resource is essential reading for professionals working at all levels in public health and health protection, including those with a non-specialist background in this continually evolving and complex field of public health.
'All the editors and authors have been active in the field of health security and involved through experiential learning in the management of incidents, outbreaks, and other health protection situations for decades. All were at the forefront of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are uniquely able to reflect pragmatically and personally on health security and health protection practice in a variety of situations. This book is, therefore, a practical product of the wealth of their combined experience and will support current professionals in their efforts to ensure the protection and health security of individuals and populations in the UK and internationally.'
From the Foreword by Professor Dame Jenny Harries DBE DL, First Chief Executive,
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

About the Author
Following a successful career of around 20 years in the northern mountains of Pakistan as a rural GP, Dr Stewart returned to the UK where he trained in Public Health in Cheshire and Merseyside. He was a Consultant in Health Protection for eleven years, with special interest in the acute and long-term effects of the environment on health. He has investigated and responded to many complex public health issues, and has developed an understanding of how to support local and national agencies and the public in the face of limited information, incomplete understanding, and often great uncertainty. He has published extensively, is a member of the editorial team for the Journal of Environmental Geochemistry and Health, reviews for several journals, and continues to teach postgraduate students in health protection and public health, actively maintaining his interest in health protection.
Professor Baxter has been a Consultant in Communicable Disease Control and currently is a Consultant in Health Protection for Stockport MBC Public Health Department. He has worked in Communicable Diseases Control and Health Protection for over 30 years. Over the last 35 years he has successfully run the UK National Immunisation Conference for Health Care Workers, attracting more than 200 delegates every year from all over the country, and delivered by key national and international experts.

He has a special interest in the epidemiology and control of health care associated infections. Dr Shears was previously senior lecturer in medical microbiology at Liverpool University/Liverpool School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, with postgraduate teaching responsibilities and public health microbiology projects in Sudan and Bangladesh. Dr Shears was a member of WHO working groups on antimicrobial resistance and public health laboratory development.
Mr Conrad is Director of Public Health Evidence & Improvement at Hertfordshire County Council, where he has led the management of infectious disease outbreaks in community settings and oversees local infectious disease epidemiology and surveillance work.
