Course Overview
Accreditation bodies assess hospital medical supply chains on documented evidence of consistent practice. Clinical staff will work around a process for supply chains that obstructs care, and they will be right to. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a clinical protocol for the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda as they go. It establishes a shared vocabulary for hospital medical supply chains so that teams can disagree productively about it. It is written for people who have to make this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services work with the resources they already have. The most reliable predictor of sound supply chains is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about hospital medical supply chains under scrutiny. A common pattern is strong design of supply chains paired with weak follow-through. The final session converts the week's work on this part of health and pharmaceutical services into commitments with owners and dates.
