Course Overview

Buyers now complete much of their decision on health service marketing before speaking to anyone. Discounting solves a problem in this area of marketing and commercial practice today and creates a larger one next quarter. Participants leave with a method for the marketing and commercial practice discipline, not a set of opinions about it. Plans for health service marketing often fail at the handover point between functions. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the wider marketing and commercial practice agenda is working and when it is only appearing to. Applied research in marketing and commercial practice consistently shows that early structure around the marketing and commercial practice discipline reduces downstream rework. It is written for people who have to make health service marketing work with the resources they already have. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the marketing and commercial practice capability and prepares them for it. Participants leave with a plan for this strand of marketing and commercial practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
