Course Overview

Variation in long-term medical supply contracts between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Accreditation bodies assess supply contracts on documented evidence of consistent practice. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this strand of health and pharmaceutical services. This programme builds long-term medical supply contracts from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Progress on the practice within health and pharmaceutical services is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Organisations that document supply contracts properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from long-term medical supply contracts, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting supply contracts, ready to be adapted internally. The final session converts the week's work on the health and pharmaceutical services discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
