A six-day online leadership programme for pharmacists and pharmacy managers

Strengthen Your Leadership in Pharmacy

Accredited for 40 CPD points

Leadership in pharmacy does not have to be complicated — yet for many pharmacists, it is the most challenging part of the profession.

Every day, pharmacists and pharmacy managers are expected to lead people, motivate teams, resolve conflicts, and successfully implement change — often without ever having received formal leadership training.

This intensive six-day online programme will teach you how to create greater impact as a leader with less effort.

You will gain valuable insights, practical strategies, and immediately applicable tools that you can use directly within your own pharmacy practice.

What Will This Programme Deliver?

Fully online, highly interactive, and personal

Live sessions with group discussions, practical assignments, reflection exercises, assessments, and presentations in a small-group learning environment.

Built on science and 35 years of practical experience

Led by Prof. Dr. Sybren Tijmstra and Peter Felen, internationally recognised experts in strategic leadership and pharmacy management.

Immediately applicable

Every training day translates directly into practical improvements for your own pharmacy.
