Practice Review Program

It is the pharmacy manager’s responsibility to schedule individual Pharmacy Professionals Reviews for all licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians employed at their site. 

To create the Pharmacy Professionals Review schedule, a list of licensees is provided along with a scheduling template in the selection email. The pharmacy manager should complete the template based on the listed licensees. The pharmacy manager can simply plug in names to the College template and send a copy to the PRP Coordinator as soon as it is complete.

For information on specific assessment criteria, please refer to the following review forms: 

For Hospital Pharmacy: 

Compliance officers will be reviewing pharmacies for adherence to practice standards and guidelines such as the Health Professions and Occupations Act, College Bylaws, Standards of Practice, the Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act, and other legislation.

The College implemented the Practice Review Program to enhance the quality of pharmacy practice by improving compliance through strengthened enforcement. One of the ways that the College can ensure best practices are being followed is to establish and communicate standards and guidelines to pharmacy professionals and review their individual performance in a pharmacy setting. By reviewing real practice in real time, the College is helping to maintain and elevate public confidence in the profession.
