Neighbourhood Pharmacies advocates for policies and operational conditions that support thriving pharmacy businesses, strengthen their long-term economic viability and enable their continued integration into Canada’s healthcare system.
Our North Star is integrating innovative pharmacy business models into the healthcare system—enhancing access to care for Canadians while driving business success.
Our vision is thriving pharmacy businesses supporting optimized patient outcomes. Our mission is to drive innovation and integrated services for a sustainable future in community pharmacy.
Our advocacy focuses on priority areas that are critical to a strong, sustainable and innovative community pharmacy sector:
- Advancing community pharmacy as an accessible healthcare hub
- Protecting and improving pharmacy business viability
- Modernizing pharmacy regulation to remove barriers and support innovation
- Positioning pharmacies as an essential and sustainable partner in the drug supply chain and medication access pathway
- Recognizing pharmacy as critical national infrastructure beyond healthcare
- Protecting the value of specialty pharmacy services
We are in the midst of collating all our advocacy on individual issues into these categories. Additional changes to come.
