Epicentre of Influenza: The primary care experience in Melbourne, Victoria
Dr Jenny Bocquet talks about her qualitative research project exploring the early experience of selected frontline general practices in managing the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak.
Dr Bocquet discusses the context of why she decided to perform this study, how her research was carried out, and the type of general practices involved. She discusses her how the general practices fared, including the strategies they used to manage, and whether they coped or were supported by government services. Dr Bocquet goes on to discuss how we can approach things differently in future flu seasons, and where we go from here to ensure greater ...
