Course Overview

In healthcare, a weakness in supply chain security and counterfeit medicines is eventually paid for by a patient. The data supporting counterfeit medicines is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the practice within health and pharmaceutical services are used deliberately. Improvement in supply chain security and counterfeit medicines stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this area of health and pharmaceutical services in an order their organisation can absorb. Applied research in health and pharmaceutical services consistently shows that early structure around counterfeit medicines reduces downstream rework. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a clinical protocol for supply chain security and counterfeit medicines as they go. The course sets out a working method for counterfeit medicines that participants can apply the week they return. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services survives a hostile question.
