The Health Protection Notification Regulations 2010 (HPNR) help us respond promptly to suspected cases of infectious disease that could have an impact on public health. The Covid pandemic shone a light on the fundamental role of surveillance in supporting an effective public health response. Schedule 1 of the HPNR lists "notifiable diseases", with organisms that could lead to the development of a specific infectious disease - known as "causative agents" - listed under schedule 2. Registered medical practitioners in England are required to notify the relevant local authority or local health protection team if they treat a patient they know or suspect to have a notifiable disease.
