Course Overview

Variation in telemedicine programmes between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Accreditation bodies assess the health and pharmaceutical services discipline on documented evidence of consistent practice. Moving this area of health and pharmaceutical services from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Practitioner evidence points the same way: telemedicine programmes improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the health and pharmaceutical services discipline, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this area of health and pharmaceutical services before they become incidents. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of telemedicine programmes and supervised application. It treats this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the health and pharmaceutical services capability that participants can repeat annually.
