What is the 'health advice cell'?

The health advice cell (HAC) was formed in July 2009 by the north east director of NHS flu resilience. 

The cell is a regional group of health professionals from a range of clinical areas including;

  • Acute Care
  • Emergency Medicine
  • General Practice
  • Immunology
  • Infection Control
  • Intensive Care
  • Nephrology
  • Obstetrics
  • Occupational Health
  • Paediatrics
  • Primary Care
  • Public Heath

The cell is intended to provide policy advice rather than give advice to individual clincians.
