Leadership is an art of encouraging a team of people to work towards achieving a common goal. When led correctly, a team can be steered to achieving results. Effective leadership is extremely important in pharmacy. Developing leadership behaviours is a crucial component for pharmacy professionals, so that they can contribute to the effective running and future focuses of the pharmacy that they work within.

Pharmacy professionals play a fundamental role as leaders in making decisions to reduce patient safety risks/incidents, optimise medicines management and align/signpost healthcare services.  The training encourages innovative thinking for developing and managing people. It encourages the participant to identify key skills of each team member in order to bring out the best in them and achieve results.

This training ultimately enhances patient care and outcomes by strengthening leadership skills of pharmacy professionals.

Participants will be sent an e-certificate stating that they have completed the NPA Leadership Training course on successfully completion of the course. This certificate can be counted towards continuing professional development (CPD).
