Pharmacists' Awareness Week 2012

PHARMACISTS’ AWARENESS WEEK MARCH 4-10 2012

The Council of Independent Community Pharmacy Owners is pleased to support Pharmacists’ Awareness Week with our valued employees. 

Each of our member corporations recognizes the valued contribution of pharmacists in our society. Through progressive and supportive employee and employer relationships our businesses are proud of the services we provide to people, neighbourhoods and communities.

The pharmacist continues to be one of the most trusted professions and independent pharmacy one of the most trusted businesses. This week celebrates the work a pharmacist does whether as an employee of government, the University, hospitals, Centre for Health Information, or of the private sector. Our corporate members will continue to work toward providing a stable workplace for our professional staff. Our members companies continue to lobby government for medication management programs that allow our communities to avail of preventative and stabilization consults that our employees are fully qualified to do. 

“The demographics of our province show that chronic disease management will become a real budgetary challenge over the coming decade. One of the only real ways to curb the anticipated explosion of prescription drug use is through an expanded scope of practice for pharmacists employed by private sector community pharmacies” – Wayne Morris President CICPO
