2013 NLPB Annual Report
On behalf of the Newfoundland and Labrador Pharmacy Board members and staff, it is our pleasure to present the 2013 Annual Report. This report provides highlights of achievements and celebrates the milestones and work of the Board in 2013. The work of the Board is largely influenced by the strategic plan. While continuing to fulfill and improve upon the Board’s core business activities, which include registration and licensure of pharmacists, pharmacy students, pharmacy interns and pharmacies as well as investigation of complaints and allegations, much of the Board’s efforts in 2013 were focused on development of a Quality Assurance Program and preparing for community pharmacy site assessments. Preparations are underway to facilitate the Regulations for Pharmacy Act 2012. National Entry to Practice Competencies for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technician have been revised and approved by the Board as well as the National Pharmacists Supplemental Competencies on Injection and Immunization. In keeping with the Board’s commitment to public safety, the Board is also very pleased to have revised and implemented Standards of Practice for Prescription Labels and Dispense Summaries. The Board’s continued attention and dedication to quality assurance will be essential to preserving and enhancing the public’s expectation of pharmacy practice excellence in the province. As we look ahead to 2014, the Board will continue to focus on the regulations to support expanded scopes of practice and evolving the Quality Assurance Plan. Thank you for taking the time to read this year’s Annual Report. Sincerely,
Christina Tulk & Margot Priddle
Christina Tulk, Chair Margot Priddle, Registrar
