Emergency response plan

The Landspítali (LSH) emergency response plan covers poisonings, epidemics, radiation hazards, mass-casualty incidents, evacuations, and failures in clinical IT systems. Staff follow established procedures and checklists for these event categories to facilitate their work under pressure.

Guidelines and instructions regarding epidemics are published exclusively on the hospital’s website and in the quality manual, as epidemics are variable and updated instructions are required at all times.

An appendix provides additional material on Landspítali’s operations, the national civil protection structure, and its connection to healthcare institutions. The LSH emergency response plan is under continuous revie

Emergency Management

The emergency management board of Landspítali is responsible for implementing the plan.
