NOTE: The Queens help desk for the LPEP (OPDES.eLearningHelp@queensu.ca) will be closed for the holiday break and unavailable to assist with technical issues from December 23, 2024, to January 2, 2025.
ACP, with support from Queen’s University (Office of Professional Development and Educational Scholarship) has developed the Licensee and Proprietor Education Programs (LPEP).
The LPEP consists of three different programs, each targeting a specific audience: new or prospective licensees, experienced licensees, and proprietor’s representatives. Each program is designed to ensure licensees and proprietor’s representatives learn and review the information required for their specific roles.
ACP does not intend for individuals to take all three programs of the LPEP. Rather, individuals will be required to take the specific program that is best related to their current and future roles within the pharmacy.
The three LPEP programs include Licensee Fundamentals, Licensee Development, and Proprietor Education Program. See below for more details.
This program is the most comprehensive program and is recommended for all pharmacists.
This program outlines the fundamental knowledge needed by licensees to manage the operation of a pharmacy and lead a pharmacy team, emphasizing the authority, responsibility, and accountability of the licensee role. It will facilitate reflection and application of this knowledge to case-based scenarios, modeled on common situations and challenges experienced by licensees.
The program provides an in-depth review of the Foundational Guidelines and ACP’s standards. The information outlined in Licensee Fundamentals is vital for any licensee establishing the operations of a new pharmacy.
This program is designed for existing licensees and provides up-to-date information to ensure compliance with ACP programs and standards, as well as legislation.
The program guides experienced licensees to reflect on their pharmacy operations and leadership using the recently developed Licensee Competencies Framework. Activities in the program will help licensees identify areas for improvement and create realistic action plans targeting these areas.
NOTE: If licensees choose to take Licensee Fundamentals, they do not need to take Licensee Development.
This program outlines the legislative responsibilities of a proprietor’s representative and is tailored for non-pharmacist learners. The program focuses on the role of the proprietor’s representative in the oversight of the pharmacy and describes how they can collaborate with the licensee to manage their individual and joint responsibilities for the operation of the pharmacy.
All licensees and proprietor’s representatives must complete the applicable program(s) of the LPEP and provide evidence of completion when submitting the application to renew the pharmacy licence for the 2025-26 licensure term. The deadline to submit a renewal application is May 31, 2025.
