The release of new standards on July 1 was a good reminder of how important it is to keep up-to-date on practice requirements. We at ACP appreciate the effort this takes and want to help you keep your practice safe and current. To that end, we maintain an extensive set of resources on the ACP website.
If you don’t find the answer to your question on the ACP website, you have other options. For non-urgent questions, you can email acpinfo@abpharmacy.ca (please include your phone number). Your question will then be forwarded to the most appropriate ACP staff. You may also email an ACP staff member directly. The staff contact list is at Contact Us/ACP Staff.
If you question is more urgent, you may call ACP’s pharmacist-on-call. Each day, one of ACP’s pharmacists is on call to help with your practice puzzlers.
For questions directly related to your pharmacy assessment, please contact the Professional Practice Consultant who conducted your assessment.
