Any changes to the physical facilities, proposed use of space, or layout of a licensed pharmacy are considered renovations and require advanced notice and approval by the registrar prior to implementing these changes. The licensee should submit a complete application to renovate the pharmacy to ACP at least 45 days before construction begins.
A renovation includes any proposed changes to the overall size of the pharmacy, the size of the dispensary, use of space for pharmacy services, or the counterspace. Modifications that do not alter the previously approved floor plan or intended use of space are not considered renovations and do not require further approval (e.g., painting). If you are not sure whether the changes you are planning constitute a renovation, please contact ACP for verification.
ACP has approved a policy allowing eligible pharmacies to apply to use additional space that is not contiguous with the existing dispensary for pharmacy services. This policy is only applicable to community pharmacies that existed on the premises prior to March 3, 2018. This policy also does not apply to a pharmacy with a compounding and repackaging licence. If the pharmacy is not eligible, you may need to apply for a separate pharmacy licence and adhere to the new pharmacy licensure process.
If you wish to renovate the pharmacy, the licensee must adhere to the following steps:
