Course Overview
Clinical staff will work around a process for medication safety that obstructs care, and they will be right to. In healthcare, a weakness in the health and pharmaceutical services capability is eventually paid for by a patient. The course sets out a working method for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services that participants can apply the week they return. Participants who influence medication safety without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this strand of health and pharmaceutical services and revise it on evidence. Progress on this area of health and pharmaceutical services is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants apply medication safety to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the health and pharmaceutical services discipline that were visible long before the incident. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services that each participant writes for their own organisation.
