Sequence improvements to hospital pharmacy management so that each step makes the next one easier.
Modern Management of Hospital Pharmacy Departments
Develop the judgement and the documentation needed to run hospital pharmacy management properly.
Course Overview
Cost pressure and quality expectations on hospital pharmacy management are rising at the same time. Variation in the health and pharmaceutical services capability between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of health and pharmaceutical services, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The version of hospital pharmacy management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme suits teams tackling the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda together as readily as individuals attending alone. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services so that teams can disagree productively about it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place hospital pharmacy management among the areas with the widest performance spread. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of health and pharmaceutical services under scrutiny. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda that participants can repeat annually.
