Summary of discussion *
The pharmacist took the lead on creating the content but collaborated with a wide range of stakeholders throughout the process. This involved engaging a number of senior stakeholders (consultants, clinical directors). In developing the guidance, some areas of contention arose – the pharmacist had to navigate these, influencing the clinicians from different teams to reach a consensus.
The other challenge the pharmacist faced was getting responses from stakeholders in a timely fashion. This led to issues with overall delivery of the guidance document. However, as the project progressed, the pharmacist introduced approaches that helped to keep the project on track (regular stakeholder meetings, and firm deadlines).
The pharmacist demonstrated their ability to influence other colleagues (including a broad range senior colleague), managing contentious issues to reach a consensus, and successfully deliver a Trust wide project.
