Major Incident App

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust

About this app

The Major Incident App (MIA) was created by Manchester Foundation Trust NHS and developed by Desap Enterprises Ltd. MIA is aimed at any personnel on an on-call / emergency roster for major incidents.

Uniquely designed and enabled with Critical Alert permissions, MIAs major elements include;

• Bypass silent and Do Not Disturb modes on users’ phone to ensure critical alerts are never missed
• The standard messaging feature for continued major incident communications
• Confirm your availability to attend and log your estimated time of arrival (ETA)
• Invitation only system
• Sleek in design and easy to use

Launched in 2020, the benefits of MIA include;

• Critical alerts to ensure maximum response rate for incidents
• ETA specific (ensure your major incident team can be where you need them – when you need them)
• Secure access
• Managed by a bespoke admin system for clear audit trails and robust governance

MIA was designed in conjunction with medical professionals with first-hand major incident experience and uses cutting edge technology to aid emergency readiness and benefit public safety.
