The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be one of the largest mass gathering events in British history. In order to minimise potential infectious disease threats related to the event, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has set up a suite of robust and multisource surveillance systems. These include enhancements of already established systems (notification of infectious diseases, local and regional reporting,laboratory surveillance, mortality surveillance, international surveillance, and syndromic surveillance in primary care), as well as new systems created for the Games (syndromic surveillance in emergency departments and out-of-hours/unscheduled care,undiagnosed serious infectious illness surveillance).Enhanced existing and newly established surveillance systems will continue after the Games or will be ready for future reactivation should the need arise. In addition to the direct improvements to surveillance, the strengthening of relationships with national and international stakeholders will constitute a major post-Games legacy for the HPA.
伦敦 2012 年奥运会和残奥会将是英国历史上最大规模的群众集会活动之一。为了将与该活动相关的潜在传染病威胁降到最低，健康保护局 (HPA) 建立了一整套强大的多源监测系统。这些系统包括已经建立的系统的增强（传染病通知、地方和区域报告、实验室监测、死亡率监测、国际监测以及初级保健中的症状监测），以及为奥运会创建的新系统（急诊科和非工作时间/非计划性护理中的症状监测、未确诊的严重传染病监测）。增强后的现有和新建立的监测系统将在奥运会结束后继续运行，或者在需要时随时准备重新启动。除了对监测的直接改进外，加强与国家和国际利益相关者的关系将成为 HPA 的一个重要的奥运会后遗产。
