• Unreliable booking processes: With health boards pushing for the majority of dual flu and COVID-19 jabs to be completed in a tight 6-to-8 week autumn surge, your normal dispensing workload will face unprecedented pressure.

• Unpredictable seasonal spikes: If the flu season peaks early, patient demand will spike before your rota is ready, leading to scrambled schedules.

• Absorbing the surge: Most pharmacies find out too late that permanent staff cannot absorb the extra clinic volume, making expensive, last-minute locum fees an inevitability.

• Unreliable cover & admin burden: Booking ad-hoc locums manually takes time your team doesn't have, and unfamiliar staff can increase risk to your service quality.

• Service pressure: Uncovered shifts and unfilled clinic slots directly impact your ability to deliver vaccination services and maintain patient trust.
