This course provides participants with an understanding of the hazards of pharmaceutical waste management, techniques for managing waste, and assists them to develop an evidence-based, cost-effective pharmaceutical waste disposal policy. By the end of the course, participants will increase their level of competence for systematically managing the safe disposal of pharmaceutical waste.

One of the main barriers to proper pharmaceutical waste disposal is simply not knowing what is required to be compliant with environmental, regulatory, and health protection regulations and guidelines and not having the skills required to manage the process.

This course brings both a sound management structure, using evidence-based systems, and the technical knowledge required together with skills development to empower you to operate effectively in this field. Pharmaceutical waste disposal requires far more than a cardboard box with a red liner; and having the knowledge and skills to address the environmental, regulator, health, and wellbeing issues will enable you to make a massive contribution to overall healthcare delivery.

The recent Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical need for effective waste management and staff with the necessary knowledge and skills are in short supply worldwide. Having this knowledge and skills sets will significantly increase your employability prospects.
