On July 6, Neighbourhood Pharmacies responded to the Alberta College of Pharmacists' (ACP's) consultation on Draft Standards of Practice for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. Our feedback is grounded in our belief that policies impacting access to medications and care should facilitate safe and effective patient-centric services, foster patient choice and autonomy, not place undue administrative burden on operators and empower operators with the agency to determine the most effective means of delivering care.
