Course Overview

The data supporting maternal and child health programmes is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Cost pressure and quality expectations on health programmes are rising at the same time. Participants test their assumptions about this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme takes participants through maternal and child health programmes end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Participants finish able to explain the practice within health and pharmaceutical services to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting health programmes and under-invest in testing it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better maternal and child health programmes is rarely technical. The level assumes working familiarity with the clinical service but no prior formal training in health programmes. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
