Participants in this healthcare training course, offered by the Oxford Training Center, get a special chance. As new global conditions shape the procurement supply chain, it is well understood how important it is for the healthcare industry to understand its complexity in a dynamic and complicated world. It is also of high importance that a trusting relationship is built and maintained with the suppliers, as the supply itself is not predictable. The healthcare sector that is facing turbulent times requires a new strategic and tactical solution in order to ensure long-term profitability, inventory management, and quality assurance.
The important factors to take into account and reevaluate the strategies with internal and external stakeholders in the global market will be highlighted in this training course. For the delegates, it will provide best practices and real-world applications to rethink and reevaluate the supply chain in order to make it more economical and competitive.
The Healthcare Procurement and Supply Chain Management certification recognizes formal knowledge of supply chain management and streamlining of the healthcare industry in a person. It involves the act of acquiring pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, supplies, and other products and services related to the field of healthcare at reasonable prices and up to the standards. This certification allows healthcare workers to prove their competence in such areas as reduction of costs, acceleration of the acquisition process, and delivery of the required supplies in time, which is critically important in working with patients and the general workflow of healthcare organizations.
