Abstract<\/h2>\n

Objective: To describe the experience of engaging senior clinical nurses as surge staff in a pandemic public health response and determine the effect of an on\u2011line training package and exercise participation on these individuals\u2019 perceptions and confidence of being deployed during an influenza pandemic.
\nDesign: After action reviews, end of exercise surveys, and pre\u2011 and post\u2011training risk perceptions questionnaire completion.
\nSetting: The study was conducted within the operational aspects of a public health exercise response to an influenza pandemic.
\nSubjects: Clinical nurse consultants, nurse educators and nurse managers sourced from areas defined as not clinically critical during the early containment phase of an influenza pandemic response.
\nInterventions: Four hour on\u2011line training package and a four day influenza pandemic exercise.
\nMain outcome measures: Expert observation and self\u2011perceived appropriateness of surge staff and measured changes in risk perception.
\nResults: Observers\u2019 comments and after action reviews indicated that by the end of the deployment, day surge staff were able to perform public health surveillance functions competently. The end of day survey showed that the on\u2011line training package served as a useful reference document but alone was an inadequate means of equipping staff for deployment. Exercise pre\u2011 and post\u2011perceptions surveys found that self\u2011perceived knowledge and confidence in performing duties increased following the exercise from 46% to 93% (p<0.01) and from 46% to 90% (p<0.01), respectively.
\nConclusion: Clinical nurse consultants, nurse educators and nurse managers working within a health authority are an appropriate surge workforce during public health emergencies if provided with appropriate training and support.<\/p>\n
