A pharmacist who is a medicines expert can also be a supply chain expert.

That was one of the strongest messages from Bee Skilled’s Pharmacist Career Clinic, held this week in the backdrop of World Pharmacy Week - a highly interactive conversation with Pharm. Jimmy Aiden, Dr. Andrew Brown and Mr. Sanjay Saha.

The discussion reinforced three important lessons.

Pharmacy knowledge gives professionals a strong foundation, but supply chain competence has to be deliberately built.

Career progression also requires more than technical knowledge. Data, analytics, stakeholder engagement, leadership and change management increasingly matter as responsibilities grow.

And perhaps most importantly: start where you are. Build experience, seek mentors, volunteer in roles that interest you, take targeted courses, and be intentional about the next capability you need for the supply chain role.

As we celebrate World Pharmacists Day tomorrow, the opportunity is not only to recognise what pharmacists already contribute, but also to ask: Where could your pharmacy experience take you next?

Pharmacists play a critical role well beyond dispensing medicines. Their work connects directly with procurement, forecasting, inventory management, quality, logistics and broader health supply chain decisions.

As part of World Pharmacy Week, Bee Skilled is hosting a Pharmacist Career Clinic:

Beyond Traditional Pharmacy Roles: Building a Career in Health Supply Chains

In this session, we will explore:
- How does a pharmacist actually move into a health supply chain role?
- What skills become important along the way?
- How can pharmacy experience be translated into broader career opportunities?

The session will feature Pharm. Jimmy Aiden, Technical Specialist, CIPS Health Procurement Africa Programme, and will be moderated by Dr. Andrew Brown, Director of Education, Bee Skilled.

Participants will also receive a free to help them explore possible next steps.

24 September 2026 | 45 minutes
8:00 AM GMT/9:00 AM WAT/10:00 AM SAST/11:00 AM EAT

Join 325 Learners and Discover the Pharmaceutical System Beyond Your Own Role.

The Introduction to Pharmaceutical Systems course helps professionals move beyond their own area of work and understand how these different components interact within the wider health system.

Learners have already highlighted the value of that broader perspective:

“The course provided useful knowledge about essential medicines, their availability, and factors affecting access and supply chains. The practical examples and comparisons helped me understand the learning outcomes effectively.” - Sri Venkatesh Uriti

“The combination of practical activities, learning materials, videos, and peer discussions helped me develop a clearer understanding of pharmaceutical systems and their role within broader health systems.” - Mahwish Fatima

“The course greatly helped me to better understand the pharmaceutical system as a whole and the interdependence of its different components.” - Pascal OUEDRAOGO

So far, 325 learners have joined the course. If you work in pharmacy, supply chain, regulation, public health or health programmes, this is an opportunity to strengthen your understanding of the system beyond your own role.

The course is:
· Free and self-paced
· Approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes
· Developed by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine - LSTM ne
· Completed with a Certificate of Completion from LSTM

World Pharmacy Week is an opportunity to celebrate pharmacists and the increasingly important role they play across health systems.

This year, Bee Skilled is challenging pharmacists to answer one question:

How supply chain ready are you?

We are inviting pharmacists who are involved in supply chain functions to attempt Bee Skilled’s Practitioner Credential Entry Assessment. This gives you an opportunity to test current knowledge and see how confidently you understand these broader supply chain functions.

Your performance in the assessment can also qualify you for up to a 60% merit based scholarship towards the Supply Chain Practitioner Credential.

World Pharmacy Week runs from 19 to 25 September, but the challenge starts now.

Let's find out - How supply chain ready are you?

Quality does not fail at one point in the health supply chain. It can be influenced by the decisions, oversight, coordination and accountability of many different stakeholders.

But who is responsible for what? What is the relationship between supply chain stakeholders and regulatory stakeholders? And what role can the African Medicines Agency play in strengthening quality assurance across the continent?

Join us for the third in the Managing Quality of Health Products Throughout the Supply Chain series, Stakeholders and Regulatory Environment: Gaps, Progress, and the Role of AMA.

This session will bring together health supply chain and regulatory professionals to explore:

• The roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders across the pharmaceutical supply chain
• Progress and persistent gaps in regulatory systems
• How regulatory oversight connects with procurement, distribution and quality assurance
• The mandate and evolving role of the African Medicines Agency
• Practical actions professionals can take within existing regulatory systems

What does it mean to be recognised as a health supply chain worker?

For many workers, the answer goes beyond a job title. It is about having the knowledge, and experience to demonstrate that you can lead and strengthen health supply chains.

Yet, in many health systems, supply chain responsibilities are still treated as an additional function rather than a professional discipline with its own career pathways and recognition.

Professional recognition matters because years of experience alone can’t be the only way to demonstrate capability.

At Bee Skilled, we are working towards a future where health workers can showcase recognition for their supply chain capabilities through structured learning and credentialling.

In our latest , Dr. Andrew Brown, explores why professional recognition matters and what it means for the future of health supply chain careers.

Behind every humanitarian response is a supply chain professional.

On World Humanitarian Day, we recognise the people working behind the scenes to ensure communities affected by crises can access medicines, health products and essential supplies when they need them most.

- They forecast demand.
- They manage procurement.
- They coordinate supplies.
- They protect quality.
- They solve problems when systems are under pressure.

Their work is critical, yet often goes unseen.

So, there is an important question worth asking: Are we giving these professionals enough opportunities to build, demonstrate and gain recognition for the capabilities their work demands?

Humanitarian health response depends not only on resources and systems, but on the people who make those systems work.

This is why professional development and recognition matter.

The Supply Chain Practitioner Credential is designed to help health supply chain professionals strengthen their capabilities and work towards recognised professional standing at the Practitioner level.

Because the work behind humanitarian response matters. And, so do the people who make that work possible.

On , we recognise them.
