Healthcare supply chains underpin every aspect of patient care, yet many clinical leaders have limited exposure to how they work or how daily decisions influence system performance. This one-hour webinar provides a practical, high-level introduction to healthcare supply chain for healthcare leaders. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how supplies move through the health system, current cost pressures in Canadian healthcare, and key trends shaping supply chain priorities. The session concludes with practical actions leaders can apply to strengthen today's supply chain, while reducing waste in support of high-quality, sustainable healthcare.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the healthcare supply chain at a high level
2. Recognize how leadership behaviours impact system performance
3. Apply practical actions to support stewardship and sustainability
