Dispensing Preparedness: A Prescription for Success in Pharmacy Disaster Response | Speaking Events
Speaking events are a great opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals of disaster planning and emergency management or to train the global pharmacy community on disasters and emergencies.
Pharmacists are leaders in their communities and when faced with a disaster or emergency they are often the first and only healthcare entity to respond. This type of leadership involves thinking bigger than the technical tasks at hand. How can we motivate people to plan and prepare for an emergency when there isn’t a disaster insight?
Topics we cover include, climate change, emergency planning, disaster management, pharmacy practice, public health, primary care, and leadership.
Disaster planning and emergency management activities push the envelope and challenge our ability to adapt. This is a vital skill for pharmacy team members to practice before a disaster occurs that requires them to lead.
We offer a free consultation to discuss your needs and learning outcomes so we can tailor the speaking event to match your and your group’s needs.
Client Testimonials
The department of emergency preparedness and planning had the sincere pleasure of working with Dr Kaitlyn Watson on a presentation called “Pharmacists working in disasters: An inconspicuous pair!”. Dr Watson was professional and responsive in preparations and in the presentation. Of note, the department found Kaitlyn’s ability to uniquely explain a commonly overlooked area of primary care in emergency preparedness and management particularly impressive. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Watson and Disaster Pharmacy Solutions to anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of emergency preparedness and disaster management.
