Abstract

Introduction: During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic there have been much publicised shortages in Personal Protective Equipment for frontline health care workers, from masks to gowns. Recent previous airborne pandemics provide an opportunity to learn how to effectively lead and manage supply chains du...

Search terms were focused on recent airborne pandemics (SARS; Ebola; Zika virus; H1N1 swine flu, COVID-19), supply chain management, PPE, leadership, learning, inhibitors and facilitators and resilience e.g., SARS AND supply chain* AND (“personal protective equipment” OR PPE) (leaders* OR manage*) Titles and abstracts were downloaded to Endnote and duplicates removed.

Lessons included the importance of planning, the significance of collaboration and relationship building. Resilience of PPE supply chains was reported to be dependent on multiple levels from individuals to organisation level and also interdependent on (i) sustainability, (ii) the practise of PPE and (iii) long term environmental impact of PPE suggesting the need, long term, to move to a circular economy approach.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Frontiers in Public Health</journal><volume>9</volume><journalNumber/><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Frontiers Media SA</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic>2296-2565</issnElectronic><keywords>supply chain management (SCM), leadership, pandemic, COVID-19, personal protective equipment(PPE), supply chain, resilience</keywords><publishedDay>9</publishedDay><publishedMonth>12</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2021</publishedYear><publishedDate>2021-12-09</publishedDate><doi>10.3389/fpubh.2021.765501</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Public Health</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>PHAC</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2023-06-26T15:40:22.9829253</lastEdited><Created>2021-11-12T21:42:35.0339863</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Health and Social Care - Public Health</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Stephanie</firstname><surname>Best</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Sharon</firstname><surname>Williams</surname><orcid>0000-0001-5377-7401</orcid><order>2</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>58640__21909__dcd20169242b415789028804a2f4c2aa.pdf</filename><originalFilename>58640.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2021-12-17T17:31:44.4541805</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>611361</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>© 2021 Best and Williams.
