摘要：Exercise Paton was a New South Wales-wide simu-lation exercise conducted on 30 November 2006, to test the response of New South Wales emergency departments (EDs), multi-purpose services*(MPSs), and public health units to the presentation of single cases of pandemic influenza during the early stages of a pandemic. The exercise followed the release of the New South Wales policy document to guide New South Wales hospitals' response to an influ-enza pandemic, titled Hospital Response to Pandemic Influenza, Part 1: Emergency Department Response.1The exercise was named after Dr Robert Paton, the New South Wales Director-General of Public Health during the 'Spanish influenza' pandemic of 1918–1919
