Strategy

Incorporating a new technology without considering the end-users’ experiences and needs decreases its potential for success. Here are some steps you can take to ease the process for all.

By requiring directors to formally attest to their oversight of care standards, the policy reinforces their authority to lead.

The new clinic marks a new chapter in healthcare coverage and advancing research opportunities at post-secondary institutions.

A low level of fluoride has been added to tap water in parts of Canada and the U.S. since the 1940s to help reduce tooth decay and cavities.

The agency, called Santé Québec, will manage all healthcare facilities in the province and will become the sole employer of 330,000 healthcare workers.

Labour shortages have been a fact of life for generations. Complicating this situation is the significant upset in staff availability over the holidays. So how do you plan your pharmacy staffing for the holiday season?

I think we need continued advocacy in building capacity within global health: I envision that groups which are on the front line of global health efforts both in conflict and non-conflict zones will have more and more engagement with pharmacy professionals. Similarly, I can now see that pharmacy professionals involved in climate change are also partnering with other health-based and non-health-based disciplines and I expect this trend to continue.

One critical leadership lesson I’ve learned is this: if you want others to confidently follow, you must show them how your vision connects to their success. By addressing concerns, painting a vivid picture of the benefits, and actively listening, I helped my team see the value—and ultimately, say yes. As a result, the profession of pharmacy is better off, and importantly, so is patient care.
