Abstract

It is rare for a genuinely new role for pharmacists to be created and on the few occasions that they have come into being, it usually starts in one or two locations and then spreads slowly across the profession, over many years.

New roles seldom originate from high up in the health service hierarchy.

This seminar will outline two such rare instances:

  • One specifically dedicated to pharmacists : the development of Advanced Clinical Practice (ACP), a practice of clinical pharmacy which goes beyond the current concept. Pharmacists from concept through pilot to creation, across the health service in England in four short years.
  • One that can concern many different profiles : the development of new management positions in hospitals such as operations manager, operations director or improvement team leader.

Learning objectives

After the seminar, the participant should be able to:

  • recognise the process of creating a new role for pharmacists;
  • identify the potential for the role of an ACP pharmacist;
  • identify the potential for the role of a pharmacist as part as the management team.

Deadline extended to July 15th

Problems caused by shortages are serious, threaten patient care and require urgent action.

Help us provide an overview of the scale of the problem, as well as insights into the impact on overall patient care.

Our aim is to investigate the causes of medicine and medical device shortages in the hospital setting,  while also gathering effective solutions and best practices implemented at local, regional, and national levels.
