This simulation exercise is intended to raise issues general practice will address in preparing and responding to an influenza pandemic. The response to a pandemic across the health sector will be an evolving one, in which services will have to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances. The principles underlying these scenarios include:

- The need to make the best clinical response given uncertain knowledge
- The need to make best use of infection control principles
- The need to have flexible organisational systems
- The need for effective teamwork and leadership within general practice

Many questions do not have right or wrong answers. This simulation asks participants to develop strategies which address questions and underlying principles to enable safe, effective and flexible services.
