Course Overview
Variation in medical procurement planning between shifts and sites is where avoidable harm lives. Accreditation bodies assess this part of health and pharmaceutical services on documented evidence of consistent practice. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this area of health and pharmaceutical services, ready to be adapted internally. The programme is built to be used, and every section of medical procurement planning it covers ends in something applicable. The content is relevant to those who own the wider health and pharmaceutical services agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this part of health and pharmaceutical services rather than to abstract argument. Comparative studies of medical procurement planning across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Improvement in the health and pharmaceutical services discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services into commitments with owners and dates.
