There's a meeting at 3pm. Can you come?"rnThe next day, I brief senior occupational health and safety staff. A medical, nursing and safety group is set up to oversee the work of the OH service in response to therncrisis, since we will be heavily involved in ensuring that the health-care workers, both inrnthe hospital and community, are able to continue working while being effectivelyrnprotected against the flu virus.
