We anticipate that the UKHSA will undertake functions in 5 core areas:
Prevent: anticipating and taking action to mitigate infectious diseases and other hazards to health before they materialise, for example through vaccination and influencing behaviour
Detect: detecting and monitoring infectious diseases and other hazards to health, including novel diseases, new environmental hazards, and other threats though world class health surveillance, joined-up data, horizon scanning and early warning systems
Analyse: analysing infectious disease and other hazards to health to determine how best to control and respond to them, through coordinated and intelligent data analysis, modelling, and evaluation of interventions based on robust evidence and developing the knowledge base
Respond: taking action to mitigate and resolve infectious diseases and hazards to health when they occur, through direct delivery, supporting health protection system partners with tools and advice, engaging with citizens, and flexibly deploying resources, including scaling operations at pace
Lead: providing health protection system leadership, working in partnership with wider central government, the devolved administrations and public health agencies for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, local authorities, the NHS, academia and industry to provide effective preparation and response to the full range of threats to health and strengthening the health protection system and workforce
