Course Overview

Clinical staff will work around a process for medical shift scheduling that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Variation in this strand of health and pharmaceutical services between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Participants gain a realistic view of what the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda costs and what it returns. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of medical shift scheduling and supervised application. Organisations that document the health and pharmaceutical services discipline properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme converts this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Moving medical shift scheduling from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants who influence this strand of health and pharmaceutical services without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the health and pharmaceutical services discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
