Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess controlled drug management on documented evidence of consistent practice. The data supporting this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Improvement in the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of controlled drug management and supervised application. Participants finish able to explain this strand of health and pharmaceutical services to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services that were visible long before the incident. It is designed for mixed groups, so that controlled drug management is examined from more than one functional angle. The course sets out a working method for the health and pharmaceutical services discipline that participants can apply the week they return. Participants leave with a plan for the health and pharmaceutical services capability sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
