Pharmacy technicians and pharmacists registered with the College are health professionals under the Health Professions Act and must uphold legislative requirements and professional obligations at all times.
This means that regardless of job title or role, a registered pharmacy technician or pharmacist must meet requirements under the Health Professions Act, Pharmacy Operations and Drug Scheduling Act and in the College’s bylaws. As health professionals, they are held responsible to their own scope of practice and can be subject to disciplinary action for practice issues.
