Nova Scotia's world-class pharmacy practice

All pharmacists are prescribing pharmacists

All pharmacists in Nova Scotia can extend and modify for ANY existing therapy (adapt dose, frequency, duration, or subsitute) and prescribe for minor ailments.

Pharmacist-led clinics

Community Pharmacy Primary Care Clinics are pharmacist-led clinics that provide an extended suite of primary care services in areas of the province with highest need. 

Pharmacists Supporting Patient Care

Hospital pharmacy professionals are key to patient safety and effective treatment. They work closely with healthcare teams to review medications, verify dosages, and ensure accurate dispensing. By advising on drug interactions, side effects, and dosage adjustments, they optimize patient outcomes while providing essential counseling on proper medication use.

Pharmacy Services

Pharmacists practice to their fullest scope of practice. Many pharmacy services are government funded including assessment and prescribing for UTIs, shingles, birth control, Lyme disease prevention, and prescription renewals. 

Chronic disease management

With authority to prescribe, order labs, and perform point of care testing - pharmacists are well positioned to manage chronic conditions like diabetes, COPD, asthma, and cardiovascular disease.
