Advocacy That Protects and Elevates Your Profession
OPA leads provincial pharmacy advocacy and your membership strengthens our collective voice. We work with government and key partners to drive meaningful progress and ensure pharmacists can deliver high-quality care while building rewarding careers.
Up Your Protection with Insurance
Your patients depend on your expertise every day. Protect your practice with OPA’s Professional Liability Insurance (PLI), created specifically for pharmacy professionals and trusted by thousands of our members. Coverage automatically adapts to changes in scope once approved by the OCP.
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 also offers a wide range of insurance products that are carefully designed with input from pharmacy professionals to match the unique needs of our members.
Members can access store insurance, life, disability, health, travel, home, auto, and more, all available at competitive group rates.
Auto and Home Insurance is a member favourite, with savings up to 40%.
