Who we are

The College of Pharmacy of Newfoundland and Labrador, established by legislation in 1910, is the regulatory body for the practice of pharmacy in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. To fulfill its obligation of public protection, the college:

registers pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, students, and interns, and licenses pharmacies.
establishes and maintains a quality assurance program to promote high standards for the practice of pharmacy.
develops standards, guidelines, and policies for the practice of pharmacy and the operation of pharmacies.
responds to and manages complaints and discipline relating to the practice of pharmacy.

Our Vision

Quality pharmacy practice and patient-centred healthcare through leadership and collaboration.

Our Mission

The College of Pharmacy of Newfoundland and Labrador protects the public by regulating the profession of pharmacy to ensure quality and ethical care.

Our Values

Accountability

We stand by the same ethical behaviour and moral standards that we ask of our registered pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, students, and interns. It is our responsibility to the people of the province to ensure registrants are providing safe and quality pharmacy care in accordance with the Pharmacy Act, 2024, its Regulations, By-laws, and Code of Ethics.

Collaboration

Collaboration plays a significant role in everything we do. It is a value we encourage our registrants to embrace, and one we hold ourselves to every day to continue working together towards enhancing self-regulation of pharmacy practice.

Integrity

We act with integrity to advance pharmacy practice for the people of the province. Our actions are based on what is in the best interest for the public; our activities support the optimization of patient-focused pharmacy care, thus, promoting safe and healthy communities.

Respect

Respect is applied from the ground up for us. That means respectful communications and thoughtful consideration given to how the public, our registrants, and key partners wish to receive respect. We ask for the same consideration to be given to the board members and college staff.

Transparency

Transparency is a priority and is integrated throughout the organization. We continually make our best effort to effectively communicate board-approved goals, actions, and endeavours so that the public, our registrants, and key partners are well-informed.
