Pandemic influenza

Nick Collins discusses planning for pandemic flu with Dr Jenni Parsons. The discussion focuses on the practical strategies general practices can employ to both prior to and during a flu pandemic. Although the process can seen daunting, simple starting points of good staff and patient education, maintaining good infection control practices, encouraging good ‘cough etiquette’ and improving practice triage procedures will make significant differences and will have benefits to the practice in managing other infections and local disasters and improving patient safety and care.
