There are many appointment types that are suitable for groups, such as a family or couple arriving at the same time for Flu Shots, COVID-19 vaccinations, or PCR tests. To accommodate these situations, pharmacies will now be able to create a multi-patient appointment from the pharmacist dashboard.
💡 For the Flu Module, patients can also indicate how large their group is in the waitlist and booking intake.
Table of Contents:

After scheduling a group appointment the appointment will show on the calendar with +1 to reflect the number of patients for that appointment time
Manage Group appointments from the waitlist (flu module only)*
Patients are able to indicate the maximum number of people in their group when signing up for the Flu waitlist
The Flu Waitlist indicates the number of patients in the group, and the system will automatically account for the group when sending booking links
Reschedule or Cancel group appointments
One important thing to note with managing group appointments is that the actions are all-or-nothing. This means that to reschedule one patient in the group, all patients will be rescheduled.
Navigate to the Appointments tab
Click on the appointment that needs to be edited to view the Patient Profile
Select the appointment time that needs to be rescheduled
Use the dropdown arrow and select Reschedule or Cancel
