Using our plan
This article and attached induction plan support new pharmacy procurement staff in their learning across this subject. The contents of the plan are not exhaustive, and can be amended to incorporate additional requirements of the department as required.
Induction Document
This document is intended for use within the first six months of starting a new procurement role.
It has been divided into phases rather than weeks or months, with the aim that phase one is completed first, followed by the subsequent phases.
The document is for all grades of staff, some aspects may not be relevant to certain individuals. Line managers should mark the rows in column A that are relevant to the role. Managers may want to use this document as a member of staff increases in knowledge and experience. A pharmacy procurement staff member may want to use this with their manager to increase knowledge in a particular area of interest.
The last tab recommends for the pharmacy system programs to be allocated for each role. This is advisory and should be amended depending on departmental need.
Within Phase one and two, there are separate sections for IT, tasks and reading. Phase three includes objectives with some key learning outcomes.
Phase one
Lists the initial systems, resources and information required.
Use in the first few days of starting a new role, and includes setting up of systems and review of SOPs and information.
Phase two
Supports use of systems and where to find necessary information to undertake the role at different levels.
Phase three
Describes suggested learning objectives, linked to a wider understanding of the roles and responsibilities within the organisation as well as regional and national aspects.
User profiles
