We've partnered with NPs and MDs to support pharmacists in assessing and providing medications and medical supplies for specific conditions.
You’re not alone. It is estimated that nearly 6.5 million Canadians do not have access to basic healthcare support. This lack of accessibility has contributed to overcrowded emergency rooms and longer wait times for primary care. Among patients without a primary care provider, 24% will go to the ER for non-urgent health issues while only 14% go to pharmacists. We want this to change.
To address the healthcare access gap, MedEssist's Access to Care (ATC) program is designed to empower pharmacists to assess and provide medications and medical supplies for specific conditions. This initiative enables pharmacies to establish collaborative practice agreements with medical professionals, expanding pharmacists' drug therapy management capabilities and transforming pharmacies into pharmacist-led clinics.

I signed up because I think that it's important for patients to have access to care. I live and work in a rural region where we continue to lose family practitioners, and I want to be part of the solution. Pharmacists are extremely underutilized in the healthcare sector within our current framework. We are incredibly well positioned to help with the access to healthcare crisis that exists in the province right now. So this program is definitely a step in that direction.
