Variation in health facility expansion projects between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Accreditation bodies assess expansion projects on documented evidence of consistent practice. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the health and pharmaceutical services discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. Where health facility expansion projects is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. What blocks progress on this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. It treats expansion projects as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. They acquire practical criteria for judging when health facility expansion projects is working and when it is only appearing to. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from expansion projects, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
