Course Overview

The data supporting community pharmacy management is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Cost pressure and quality expectations on this part of health and pharmaceutical services are rising at the same time. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda in terms that support a decision. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in community pharmacy management, not around theory headings. Buying a tool rarely fixes the health and pharmaceutical services discipline; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within health and pharmaceutical services. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make community pharmacy management hard in practice. Mature organisations treat this part of health and pharmaceutical services as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the health and pharmaceutical services capability survives a hostile question.
