As the last step in the medication supply chain, community pharmacies and their teams have a pivotal frontline role in stewarding patient access to medications. Our September 12 Advocacy in Action LinkedIn Livestream featured Stephanie Di Trapani, Director of Health Canada’s Drug Shortages Division and Shelita Dattani, our SVP of Pharmacy Affairs and Stakeholder Engagement, with an insider look at opportunities for modernization in Canada’s medication supply chain. The discussion also broke down some of our recent recommendations to better enable the community pharmacy sector to fully play its part in collective drug shortage solutions and foster system-focused changes to better prevent, detect, and plan mitigation strategies.
