Objective

The aim of the project was to inspire the organisation to discuss what changes were desirable. We wanted to anchor these changes in the organisation. To make transparent decisions, we invited member pharmacists to a creative workshop where they had the opportunity to design future scenarios, themselves. The anchoring was important, as the scenarios are meant to be used in the Pharmacists' strategy work in the coming years.

TYPE OF PROCESS

• Future scenarios

• Anchoring

APPROACH

The project was planned as a process of three phases. The first was a pre-phase where we identified important drivers within the context pharmacists work in, as well as which areas we wanted to develop scenarios for. The second phase was planned as a workshop where various stakeholders were invited to participate in developing the scenarios. The final phase was a post-phase where the scenarios from the workshop were analyzed and processed. Through the process, five possible scenarios were identified. These were presented both as success stories and with “warning triangles”.

Impact

«Where there is medicine, there is also pharmacists» is the title of the report that was written. The title emerged during the process of developing the scenarios and serves as a guiding star for further strategy processes. The project has showcased how one can strengthen patient safety and ensure good use of medicines by always having the expertise of pharmacists available. By handling medicines and using them more correctly, you will have a safer everyday life and increased public competence for individuals. In addition, one achieves an increased profitability for municipalities, the health service and society in general.
