Flu season is one of the highest-volume, highest-demand periods in general practice. Most clinics underestimate the level of planning and structure required to run it properly.
In this episode of the Practice Partners Podcast, Ami and Zac walk through the full flu clinic setup and delivery process, from early planning through to execution and follow-up.
We cover:
• How to plan flu clinics in advance to avoid stock issues and workflow bottlenecks
• Structuring appointment books to maximise throughput without compromising care
• Setting up efficient patient flow across admin, nursing, and clinical teams
• Vaccine ordering, storage, and cold chain management fundamentals
• Using data to track uptake, identify gaps, and drive recalls
• Managing high-volume days without overwhelming your team
• Aligning flu clinics with broader preventative health strategies
We also speak honestly about:
• Clinics running out of stock due to poor forecasting
• Underutilised nurse capacity during flu season
• Missed revenue and patient engagement opportunities
• Lack of clear ownership across the team
• Compliance gaps that create clinical and business risk
If you are a practice owner, manager, nurse, or GP preparing for flu season, this episode provides a clear, practical framework to set your clinics up properly.
