In the lexicon, Pandemic `Toolkits' are informational packets, usually comprised of posters, letters, and reference materials that the recipient can print out and are often made available for download or provided on CD or DVDs.
The RACGP (Royal Australian College of General Practitioners) has released a toolkit for doctors to help them, and their staff and patients prepare for a pandemic.
According to an article appearing in Medical News Today:
The pandemic 'flu' kit consists of a CD with the education modules and five practice posters. A copy of the pandemic 'flu' kit will be sent to every general practice in Australia.
Here is the link to the RACGP page where you can review these materials.
Pandemic resources for general practices
The following resources will help GPs and practice staff plan a response to outbreaks of infectious diseases in their area. This page will be updated regularly, with more resources as they become available.
