OPA Awards

The OPA Awards are presented annually to honour pharmacy’s everyday heroes – those pharmacists who go above and beyond for their patients, who have mentored new pharmacists in their career, grown their practice through education and expanded service delivery, or who are working collaboratively with other healthcare providers.
