Why Become a Supporting Member?
Your Voice for Practice Excellence
OPA provides a unified voice for pharmacists and your membership strengthens our impact. Advocacy is essential, as demonstrated by the recent scope expansion. OPA drives meaningful change to highlight the value of pharmacy, elevate the profession, enhance patient care, and support the profession’s long-term success.
Investing in OPA strengthens our efforts to defend and advance the profession through:
Public Relations
Educating the public about the critical role pharmacy professionals play in Ontario’s health care system, highlighting how they can add capacity and enhance patient care.
Government Relations
Directly lobbying government officials to raise the profile of the profession, advocate for fair compensation and expand the scope of practice.
Communications
Effectively communicating with members keeps them apprised of relevant news and regulatory changes. We also develop tools, resources and services that support members’ needs.
Up Your Protection with Insurance
The pharmacy landscape is constantly evolving and OPA’s leading professional liability insurance (PLI) keeps up alongside you as you fulfill your professional duties.
Our PLI is designed by liability insurance experts in consultation with pharmacy professionals and automatically covers any changes in the scope of practice after approval by OCP.
Special Offer: For a limited time, Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) is available at a prorated rate.
Retirement and PLI – Even after retirement, pharmacists remain vulnerable to claims from prescriptions, records, or advice given during their careers. This exposure highlights the importance of ensuring adequate coverage for risks that may emerge long after active practice ends.
OPA members can choose from a wide range of insurance products, including home and auto, travel, life insurance, and more. Protect yourself, your loved ones, and your valuables with coverage tailored to your needs.
