The data supporting medical-nursing collaboration is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Cost pressure and quality expectations on this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services are rising at the same time. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda is examined, not just described. The level assumes working familiarity with the clinical service but no prior formal training in medical-nursing collaboration. Organisations that document this strand of health and pharmaceutical services properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this part of health and pharmaceutical services has actually achieved. Improvement in medical-nursing collaboration stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the health and pharmaceutical services discipline and the judgement to adapt it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of health and pharmaceutical services survives a hostile question.
