Does your team need to improve their end-to-end supply chain knowledge and skills? Are you looking to develop own professional capacity?**\n\nPamela Steele Associates (PSA) in partnership with Strathmore Business School (SBS) invites you to join the 5th edition of the Health Supply Chain Management training programme (English) in Nairobi, Kenya. *\n\nWhat is the course about?\nAccording to the constitution of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) access to essential medicines is part of the right to health. Increasing the availability of essential medicines at the service delivery point is crucial to preventing millions of deaths. The success of a health programme is dependent on the ability to reliably and consistently supply essential products, including medicines, to support service delivery. However, despite increased donor funding and an array of new products, there are a number of factors that continue to significantly restrict access to essential medicines and other health products.\n\nWhile many factors influence medicine availability, the capacity of a country’s supply chain to select, forecast, procure, and deliver essential health supplies can be a major constraint. As we move into the post-2015 agenda of Sustainable Development Goals it is clear that sustainable health supply chain management is critical.\n\nSupply chain excellence requires that all of the functions of a supply chain work together efficiently. For example, decisions about product selection must inform decisions about distribution modes, the frequency of delivery, and storage specification. Similarly, rational use of pharmaceuticals is critical for accurate quantification - which, in turn, effects procurement planning. Any supply chain strategy must consider these interactions and the associated trade-offs between alternative approaches.\n\nThe course structure is based on the 6 + 1 rights of a health supply chain: the right goods, the right quantity, the right cost, the right condition, the right place, the right time, and the right interventions.\n\nPSA's training focuses on the higher–order skills required by supply chain managers to understand the end-to-end requirements for a sustainable health supply chain, rather than a narrow focus on individual activities. It is, therefore, important for everyone involved in supply chain management to have a demonstrable competence in each function.\n\nWho should attend this course?\nThe training is targeted at people who are responsible for planning, procuring, distributing or monitoring health programme supplies. It will be especially of use to those with a health professional background who are entering the health logistics and supply chain environment. Specific positions may include:\n\nProcurement officers\nPharmacy managers\nWarehouse or distribution managers\nHealth programme managers\nInformation systems managers\nStaff of Central Medical Stores\nTechnical Assistance providers\nDonors supporting commodity programmes\nCourse Objective\nThe objective of this course is to increase participants' understanding of procurement and logistics management of health supply chains and associated planning requirements, enabling them to make improvements in their own geographical and organisational contexts.\n\nCourse Learning Outcomes\nBy the conclusion of this course participants will be able to:\n\nunderstand the interrelated components of an end-to-end health supply chain from the perspective of a rights-based approach;\ndescribe the critical cross-cutting elements that need to be in place to ensure a sustainable and well-functioning health supply chain;\nunderstand the issues experienced by supply chain personnel from other countries and organisations, and use these to reflect on their own circumstances; and,\napply the experiences and resources identified in this course to make improvements in their own health supply chain based on their area of influence.\nAs part of the training, you will be provided with a complementary Health Supply Chain Skills Profile (Competency Assessment) which is an online questionnaire that measures technical, management and leadership competencies covering six key areas of health supply chain work set out in the People that Deliver (PtD) Health Supply Chain Competency Framework for Managers and Leaders.

What is the course about?
According to the constitution of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) access to essential medicines is part of the right to health. Increasing the availability of essential medicines at the service delivery point is crucial to preventing millions of deaths. The success of a health programme is dependent on the ability to reliably and consistently supply essential products, including medicines, to support service delivery. However, despite increased donor funding and an array of new products, there are a number of factors that continue to significantly restrict access to essential medicines and other health products.

While many factors influence medicine availability, the capacity of a country’s supply chain to select, forecast, procure, and deliver essential health supplies can be a major constraint.

Similarly, rational use of pharmaceuticals is critical for accurate quantification - which, in turn, effects procurement planning.

The course structure is based on the 6 + 1 rights of a health supply chain: the right goods, the right quantity, the right cost, the right condition, the right place, the right time, and the right interventions.

PSA's training focuses on the higher–order skills required by supply chain managers to understand the end-to-end requirements for a sustainable health supply chain, rather than a narrow focus on individual activities. It is, therefore, important for everyone involved in supply chain management to have a demonstrable competence in each function.

Who should attend this course?
The training is targeted at people who are responsible for planning, procuring, distributing or monitoring health programme supplies. It will be especially of use to those with a health professional background who are entering the health logistics and supply chain environment. Specific positions may include:

Procurement officers
Pharmacy managers
Warehouse or distribution managers
Health programme managers
Information systems managers
Staff of Central Medical Stores
Technical Assistance providers
Donors supporting commodity programmes
Course Objective
The objective of this course is to increase participants' understanding of procurement and logistics management of health supply chains and associated planning requirements, enabling them to make improvements in their own geographical and organisational contexts.

Course Learning Outcomes
By the conclusion of this course participants will be able to:

understand the interrelated components of an end-to-end health supply chain from the perspective of a rights-based approach;
describe the critical cross-cutting elements that need to be in place to ensure a sustainable and well-functioning health supply chain;
understand the issues experienced by supply chain personnel from other countries and organisations, and use these to reflect on their own circumstances; and,
apply the experiences and resources identified in this course to make improvements in their own health supply chain based on their area of influence.
As part of the training, you will be provided with a complementary Health Supply Chain Skills Profile (Competency Assessment) which is an online questionnaire that measures technical, management and leadership competencies covering six key areas of health supply chain work set out in the People that Deliver (PtD) Health Supply Chain Competency Framework for Managers and Leaders. The personal feedback report provides three scorecards that profile your technical, management and leadership competencies.
