What is the primary focus of the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals?

The primary focus of the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals centers on establishing bylaws and regulations that govern the practice of pharmacy within the province. This regulatory body is responsible for ensuring that the profession adheres to high standards of practice to protect public safety and maintain the integrity of pharmacy practice. Through the development of bylaws, the College sets out the rules and guidelines that pharmacists must follow, which includes licensing requirements, professional conduct, and the scope of practice.

While advocating for patients, providing education and training, and understanding pharmacy sales and marketing are important aspects of the pharmacy profession, they fall within the wider responsibilities of pharmacy practice and do not represent the central mandate of the College itself. The College specifically focuses on regulation and governance, which is critical for maintaining professional standards and regulatory compliance in the practice of pharmacy.
