Welcome to AZ PPE
This Pharmacy Procurement Education website has been created by AstraZeneca in conjunction with Southend Hospital NHS to provide comprehensive training to UK Hospital Pharmacy Staff.
A word from David Webb...
"Welcome to the procurement training website. My name is David Webb and I'm Director of Clinical Pharmacy for London, Eastern and South East NHS Specialist Pharmacy Services.
Procurement is an essential, though often underrated, element of medicines management. This training resource developed by Kevan Wind, Procurement Specialist for London and Eastern (based at Southend Hospital NHS), and supported by AstraZeneca will help you develop a better understanding of the issues in procurement and the relevance of this activity to clinical practice. Getting 'the right drug in the right form at the right dose to the right patient at the right time' is predicated on timely access to cost-effective medicines."
