The National Pharmacy Association is a membership association for independent community pharmacy owners. The membership elects the Board, and the Board then sets the strategy which the executive of the Association implements. Being a democratic organisation with our agenda set by our members is key in ensuring that the NPA is a credible and authentic voice of community pharmacy.
