Albertans have better access to their drug therapy and will benefit from greater use of pharmacists’ knowledge and skills. Pharmacists are often the most accessible health care professional and are the experts on medications. Pharmacist prescribing is done in cooperation with another health professional. Therefore, as pharmacists work with other health professionals, Albertans benefit from the combined expertise of a health care team.
A prescribing pharmacist is someone who has been granted privileges by the Alberta College of Pharmacists to offer initial access prescribing, meaning they can write prescriptions for medications without you having to see a physician or go to a walk-in clinic.
Pharmacists may not prescribe narcotics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, anabolic steroids and other drugs regulated by the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
(Section 16, Pharmacists Profession Regulation; Standard 11, Standards of Practice for Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians)
- Pharmacists prescribing is dependent on good communication between the pharmacist, the patient, and the other health professionals on the patient’s health care team. Patient health and safety always come first.
- Each pharmacist must limit their prescribing to their areas of professional competence.
- Pharmacists must meet additional specific criteria set by the college to be authorized to initiate new drug therapy and/or to manage ongoing therapy.
Pharmacists will only prescribe if they have sufficient information to make decisions on safe and effective drug therapy.
