Course Overview
The data supporting medical inventory and waste reduction is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Clinical staff will work around a process for waste reduction that obstructs care, and they will be right to. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the health and pharmaceutical services capability is rarely technical. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting medical inventory and waste reduction and under-invest in testing it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make this part of health and pharmaceutical services hard in practice. Participants who influence waste reduction without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting medical inventory and waste reduction, ready to be adapted internally. It concentrates on the parts of waste reduction that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this area of health and pharmaceutical services broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
