Seeking Feedback on Proposed Changes to By-Law No. 3 — Fees and Information on the Public Register

OCP Homepage and Public Register

The College is currently seeking feedback on proposed amendments to its By-Law No. 3.The amendments support changes to the Drug and Pharmacies Regulation Act (DPRA) Regulation, ongoing transparency initiatives within the College, and changes in the organizational structure and fees for the College.

While a number of administrative and housekeeping-type changes have been made, the most significant amendments — and those that the College is seeking feedback on — relate to changes in fees and changes to information that the College will post on the public register.

For more information and to provide feedback on the proposed by-law amendments, visit the Consultations page on the College website. 

Feedback is due on November 20, 2015.

 
 

Seeking Feedback on Proposed Revision of the Code of Ethics

Ontario College of Pharmacists Code of Ethics

The College is currently seeking feedback on a significant revision to the profession’s Code of Ethics.
 
The last substantial update to the Code happened 20 years ago and pharmacy practice has evolved significantly over the past two decades. As pharmacists become more involved in the provision of clinical services and decision-making, there is a heightened importance to clearly communicate their ethical responsibilities. As well, along with the introduction and integration of pharmacy technicians into practice comes the need to clearly define the ethical responsibilities of this class of practitioners.

The revised Code of Ethics more appropriately addresses current practice and clearly establishes the standards of ethical conduct for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in Ontario, regardless of their practice setting.
 
Read more about the development process on the Code of Ethics Key Initiative page.

For more information and to provide feedback on the proposed revision of the Code of Ethics, visit the Consultations page on the College website. 

Feedback is due on November 7, 2015.
