PM Leadership

Leaders of today supporting the leaders of tomorrow

The Clinical Leadership in Pharmacy Programme is a comprehensive leadership series aiming to unlock the potential of future pharmacy leaders. By embedding collective leadership behaviours within the pharmacy sector, this programme hopes to support our future leaders in maximising the opportunities created by health and social care integration and novel models of care.

The modern NHS, and associated health and social care landscape, continues to undergo change at an exceptional rate and scale. Pharmacy leaders, both now and in the future, are likely to encounter increasing challenges to the profession amidst an evolving leadership culture and climate. Pharmacy Management understands the high priority challenge that this presents, and has therefore worked closely with senior pharmacists to design and deliver our unique approach to leadership development.

The content of the CLIP® programme has been shaped by forward-thinking, influential leaders in pharmacy, who will additionally have a key role in mentoring programme delegates through their personal development journey. In this way, the leaders of today will work with the leaders of tomorrow as an engaged and involved workforce, realising collective responsibility for leadership in pharmacy.

I have learned a lot from the CLIP Programme and undertaking this project; this has been a very worthwhile programme for my development and what I have been able to take back to my workplace.

 

Previous participants have given the following feedback about working alongside industry colleagues during the CLIP programme:

"Participation by colleagues working in the Pharmaceutical Industry was beneficial as they have different experiences and perspectives to draw upon compared to colleagues working in clinical community or hospital-based roles. I think it was important that CLIP ensured that educational content was not promotional in any way and am satisfied that Pharmacy Management ensured that all content was educational only."

"Learning with colleagues from other sectors is essential to gaining a more accurate perception of the world in which we work. Working in isolation within hospital pharmacy or the health service can lead to a distorted view of self or the profession. Our CLIP colleagues from the pharmaceutical industry have certainly enriched the workshop group tasks and it would have been a poorer experience without them. "

"I had no issues with learning alongside industry colleagues. Pharmacy is a wide-ranging profession comprising hospital, community, industry, regulatory etc and we can all pick up different opinions, skills, advice etc from working together."

"It was good to have them there. They were able to say how they see us pharmacists, which is interesting to hear from a non-pharmacist.  They also had valuable experience on dealing with teams and it shows how leading a team is so transferable.  It doesn’t matter whether you work in pharmacy team or a non-pharmacy team, similar issues arise and have to be dealt with."

"Working alongside colleagues from the Pharmaceutical Industry added to the experience.  They brought a different perspective to the Programme and I was able to learn from them how they managed different scenarios and situations."

"It added to the course to have our industry colleagues & it has contributed to understanding one anothers’ perspectives. It was definitely a positive – as it is rare to have that non-commercial exposure."

"I found this useful to get a different perspective on situations. I think it’s important for industry and the NHS to work together on projects to improve patient care."

One of the successful Scottish cohort has supplied us with a testimonial.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to you and all the fab Pharmacy Management Team. I loved the programme and made some amazing connections. It was so encouraging spending quality time with colleagues who are passionate about the profession.

Before undertaking the CLIP programme I would never have said I had any leadership skills whatsoever. I had no confidence in myself as a leader and I even found the application form very intimidating. I am so glad that I got a place on the programme. Finding out how others in my own workplace perceive me has given me confidence to take steps forward and put myself out there as a leader in our team. Learning about more effective communication and how this relates to negotiation and conflict management has been really beneficial to me. I have taken on jobs and responsibilities recently that I would never have thought I would have been capable of in past times, and I have actually found that I am well equipped to do these tasks now. I feel like a lot of the skills I have learned on the CLIP programme will develop more and more with practice and time and that this is something I will continue to gain from for years to come and for the rest of my career.
