Course Overview
The data supporting medication use management is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Variation in this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the practice within health and pharmaceutical services. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting medication use management and under-invest in testing it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services among the areas with the widest performance spread. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services so that teams can disagree productively about it. The programme works equally well for those formalising medication use management for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Participants apply this area of health and pharmaceutical services to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the health and pharmaceutical services capability sustainable.
