Dispensing Drugs – General Consultation

Tell us what you think:

We want you to help us refine our draft Dispensing Drugs policy before it’s finalized.

The draft policy expectations are based on the premise that physicians must meet the same standards as pharmacists when dispensing. The draft policy expectations are largely consistent with the current policy, with new expectations added related to patient counselling, patient choice on where to get drugs, and monitoring of recalled drugs.

An new draft Advice to the Profession: Dispensing document has also been created to provide additional guidance and resources around the draft policy’s content.

  View the draft policy and Advice document.

  Complete our brief online survey.

  Post your comments on our online discussion page.

Have your say:

We want to hear your thoughts on the current policy. For example, we’re interested to know:

• Does the draft policy provide useful guidance to physicians?
• Are the expectations set out in the draft policy clear and reasonable?
• Are there issues not addressed in the current policy that should be?

Or feel free to answer the additional questions we have in our online survey regarding the draft policy content (click here to download the PDF list of questions).

Please provide your feedback by Monday, August 8, 2022.

Next Steps:

Your feedback is important to us. Your comments will be carefully reviewed and used to help us evaluate the draft Dispensing Drugs policy. CPSO Council will ultimately determine what policy revisions will be made when finalizing and approving the policy.

Thank you for participating!
