Enhanced Prescriptive Authority for Pharmacists

This online training module is for pharmacists wishing to become certified to provide Level 1 and 2 prescriptive authority services. It also allows pharmacists who have previously taken live training to review training material.

The Level I Prescriptive Authority Services Pharmacist Guide is now available for download to PAS members. The Minister of Health, Don McMorris announced the implementation of Prescriptive Authority effective March 4, 2011.

The Guide has been developed by the Pharmacists' Association of Saskatchewan, in consultation with our Professional Practice Committee, SCP and the Ministry of Health. It is intended to assist pharmacists with the implementation of Level I Prescriptive Authority services by providing details related to policy, procedures and billing. The Special Edition: Enhanced Prescriptive Authority #48 PAS It On sent recently to members, is also available as a brief overview of the Guide.

The Guide is an interpretation to legislation and policy on Level I Prescriptive Authority services found in Section 23 of the Regulatory Bylaws of the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacists and Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of the Drug Schedules Regulations, 1997 of The Pharmacy Act, 1997. Billing policy and procedures are anticipated to change over time and pharmacists are encouraged to stay up to date on developments with Prescriptive Authority Services. PAS members will be notified of changes as soon as information becomes available.
