Course Overview
Cost pressure and quality expectations on hospital capacity and bed management are rising at the same time. Accreditation bodies assess bed management on documented evidence of consistent practice. The programme works equally well for those formalising this area of health and pharmaceutical services for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Plans for hospital capacity and bed management often fail at the handover point between functions. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a clinical protocol for the health and pharmaceutical services capability as they go. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on bed management and revise it on evidence. The course sets out a working method for hospital capacity and bed management that participants can apply the week they return. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better bed management is rarely technical. The final session converts the week's work on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda into commitments with owners and dates.
