Pharmacists are required to offer advice and make decisions that can have a significant bearing on people's health and wellbeing. Often working in relative isolation, without ready access to their peers for encouragement, advice and support, pharmacists can be exposed to many risks, and errors can have serious consequences.
The NPA can fill this gap and and provide precisely the encouragement, advice and support that is needed.
