Course Overview

Cost pressure and quality expectations on medicine recall management are rising at the same time. Variation in the practice within health and pharmaceutical services between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Plans for this part of health and pharmaceutical services often fail at the handover point between functions. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for medicine recall management, not for observers of it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the health and pharmaceutical services discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants leave with a method for this part of health and pharmaceutical services, not a set of opinions about it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better medicine recall management is rarely technical. Participants apply this strand of health and pharmaceutical services to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
