Nova Scotia College Of Pharmacists

The Nova Scotia College of Pharmacists works on behalf of all Nova Scotians to regulate and license pharmacy professionals and the pharmacies where they work. The scope of the NSCP's work is broad, touching everything from the individual care a person receives to the policy decisions impacting healthcare delivery in the province. At the NSCP, we believe effective regulation nurtures quality care, and that the public is best served by a regulator that has the moral courage to do the right thing. The NSCP establishes, maintains, and enforces appropriate regulations, standards, policies, and guidelines so that the public can be confident in the care they receive. In accordance with the Pharmacy Act of Nova Scotia, the NSCP’s key responsibilities include: • registration and licensing • quality assurance • legislation and practice standards • professional accountability
