نبذة مختصرة : Pre-pandemic sentinel surveillance was orientated towards improved management of winter pressures, with influenza-like illness (ILI) the key clinical indicator. Recently the World Health Organisation (WHO) has published global standards for influenza surveillance, which include monitoring acute respiratory infection (ARI) as well as ILI. The WHO’s mosaic framework recommends countries’ surveillance strategies include the virological monitoring of influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other viruses with pandemic potential. The Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioner (RCGP) Research and Surveillance Centre (RSC) in collaboration with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), has provided sentinel surveillance since 1967 including virology since 1993.
