The data supporting nurse professional development is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Accreditation bodies assess this part of health and pharmaceutical services on documented evidence of consistent practice. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services rather than to abstract argument. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting nurse professional development and under-invest in testing it. Where the practice within health and pharmaceutical services is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services under scrutiny. The course covers nurse professional development at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda are used deliberately. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of health and pharmaceutical services broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
