Wondering how your pharmacy team can manage both dispensing duties and find time for expanding services? As pharmacies navigate the crucial shift from a dispensing-centric to a service-centric model, it's clear that the challenge isn't about the size of the team but their ability to adapt and grow.

This webinar focuses on the practical strategies for making your team more versatile and skilled to meet these evolving demands. We'll address the real challenges your pharmacy may face during this transformation and explore how targeted development of your team can be the solution. The goal is to future-proof your pharmacy, ensuring your team's capabilities are in line with the changing needs of community healthcare.  Leading this essential discussion are Lynette Roberts, Director of Captivating Training Solutions and creator of ReviveRx, and Andy Moss former Head of Organisation Development at University Hospital Southampton NHS and founder of Oakbridge Consulting, with his extensive experience in organisation development. Their expertise provides a solid foundation for guiding your pharmacy through this critical transition.
