- education: the development and delivery of training and education for NHS staff to maintain national resilience capabilities, including pass-through funding for NHS ambulance services to train staff, including acute hospital staff,
- clinical advice: includes specialist clinical advice in relation to pre-hospital environments and clinical input to and assurance of national resilience capabilities,
- management and operations: management of the NARU service and core operations. Provision of 24/7 on call for incidents to support NHS England.
NARU is part of the delivery of EPRR policy and the NHS ambulance service in England contribution to contest, the United Kingdom's Strategy for Countering Terrorism, and Civil Resilience strategies and the Department of Health and Social Care's commitments under the UK National Security Strategy and the National Security Council.
The host of the NARU service will provide the support functions such as procurement, human resources and payroll, finance, information communications and technology, information governance and fleet and logistics.
