These 90-minute virtual highly interactive sessions give participants the chance to work through real-world scenarios designed to test knowledge, problem solve and find solutions using risk assessment techniques. Running once a month, each session is specifically designed to help participants apply new ways of thinking in their day-to-day roles.
Presented with a ‘progressive scenario’ and facilitated by the tutor, attendees will be expected to solve problems in real time, utilising their pre-existing knowledge and experience. By sharing best practice across a wide range of different backgrounds, dosage forms and technologies you will develop your critical thinking and decision-making skills as a Qualified Person.
