This is I think a really good idea—just to add to your areas for work, I think it will be really important for organisations to keep an eye on/be critical of the inevitable inquiry into the UK’s response to the pandemic, and make sure that it doesn’t focus solely on improvements to deal with this specific type of pathogen, but looks more broadly at what needs to be done to improve the UK’s response regardless of which type of pathogen is the next challenge—which probably won’t be another coronavirus. The recommendations from the inquiry (if done well) can also then help give you a basis for asks to work on going forwards.
