Assignment 1: Haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) is a rare but serious complication resulting from infection with certain toxin-producing strains of E. coli. In 2000 words, describe and critically evaluate the notification and surveillance practices for HUS in Australia. Your paper should include 1. Why HUS is notifiable to Public Health Departments in Australia, how is this achieved and what surveillance systems exist in Australia. 2. What the components of an effective surveillance system for HUS are. Inform your answer using the system attributes described in the Updated Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems. 3. How well the system in Australia performs with respect to these attributes of an effective surveillance system. Required reading German et al.

You should consult the rubric as you prepare your essay. This assignment is worth 35% of your final grade.
