Course Overview
Variation in emergency medical supply chains between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. In healthcare, a weakness in supply chains is eventually paid for by a patient. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this area of health and pharmaceutical services under scrutiny. The level assumes working familiarity with the clinical service but no prior formal training in emergency medical supply chains. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the health and pharmaceutical services capability so that teams can disagree productively about it. Progress on supply chains is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of emergency medical supply chains and prepares them for it. The professional literature on supply chains converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda that participants can repeat annually.
