Course Overview
Clinical staff will work around a process for health impact assessment that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Variation in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the health and pharmaceutical services discipline and the judgement to adapt it. Participants test their assumptions about health impact assessment against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Moving this area of health and pharmaceutical services from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants finish able to explain the health and pharmaceutical services discipline to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Comparative studies of health impact assessment across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of health and pharmaceutical services broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
