What safeguards are in place for pharmacist practice?
All pharmacists in Alberta must be registered with the Alberta College of Pharmacists. The college regulates pharmacist practice and licenses all non-institutional pharmacies. The college’s vision is safe, effective, responsible pharmacist practice that is available to all Albertans. Pharmacists are health care professionals with more training about drugs and their effects on the body than any other health care provider. Each pharmacist must complete annual continuing education in drug therapy. In addition, every pharmacist is required to practise under the standards and legislation for their profession and to adhere to a professional code of ethics.
