Course Overview
Inventory tied up in healthcare procurement is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Warehouse performance on this aspect of procurement and supply operations is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. What blocks progress on this strand of procurement and supply operations is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme converts healthcare procurement from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The programme suits teams tackling this aspect of procurement and supply operations together as readily as individuals attending alone. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the procurement and supply operations discipline outperform teams that only plan it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make healthcare procurement hard in practice. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the practice within procurement and supply operations under scrutiny. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of procurement and supply operations will be evidenced six months later.
