Course Overview

Accreditation bodies assess drug interaction and allergy management on documented evidence of consistent practice. The data supporting allergy management is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. They leave able to brief senior management on this part of health and pharmaceutical services in terms that support a decision. It concentrates on the parts of drug interaction and allergy management that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Applied research in health and pharmaceutical services consistently shows that early structure around the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda reduces downstream rework. Ambition around allergy management outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of drug interaction and allergy management rather than to abstract argument. It is designed for mixed groups, so that allergy management is examined from more than one functional angle. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the health and pharmaceutical services capability that participants can repeat annually.
