Course Overview

In healthcare, a weakness in multi-disciplinary medical teams is eventually paid for by a patient. Cost pressure and quality expectations on this part of health and pharmaceutical services are rising at the same time. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a clinical protocol for the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda as they go. Organisations that document multi-disciplinary medical teams properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the health and pharmaceutical services discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. The version of this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme is built to be used, and every section of multi-disciplinary medical teams it covers ends in something applicable. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the health and pharmaceutical services capability. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of health and pharmaceutical services that would make a visible difference.
