The Director Liaison of the corporation and appointed Designated Manager must complete the community pharmacy accreditation renewal process.

- Click the “Payment List” button on the introduction screen
- Select the “Paid” tab.
The user will be taken to the payment list where both the receipt and accreditation renewal certificate are available. To print these documents, disable any popup blockers.
Director Liaisons and appointed Designated Managers can complete the renewal process using a desktop or laptop computer. The annual renewal process is not compatible with mobile phones.
Ensure you are using the most up to date version of either Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Chrome or Firefox, and that you have installed Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you wish to print confirmation of completion, please ensure your printer can print from your web browser prior to starting the pharmacy accreditation renewal process.
Director Liaisons must declare that they will not allow business interests and management pressures to undermine their pharmacy’s ability to provide safe, quality care to patients as required by the Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice and Standards of Operations. This declaration aligns with one the College’s strategic goals to help ensure business practice do not compromise the health and well-being of pharmacy professionals or impede their ability to adhere to the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics.
The Director Liaison will be asked to complete a declaration on the AIMS (Assurance and Improvement in Medication Safety) Program. The AIMS declaration asks Director Liaisons to confirm their pharmacies fulfil the requirements of the AIMS Program, including the completion of the Safety Self-Assessment (SSA).
The Director Liaison is accountable for ensuring their pharmacies are compliant with the requirements of the mandatory AIMS Program and that their pharmacy teams are recording incidents and near misses to optimize patient outcomes.
Director Liaisons and appointed Designated Managers should set aside at least 10-15 minutes to complete their community pharmacy accreditation renewal. If there are changes to corporation or pharmacy information, you will be asked to update it. Director Liaisons will also be asked to complete declarations. These declarations should be read carefully before responding.
The community pharmacy accreditation renewal is comprised of three parts: corporate information renewal, pharmacy information renewal, and payment. Each part must be completed to successfully renew your pharmacy’s license.
- Corporation Information Renewal: Verify or update corporation information. This information is only viewable by the Director Liaison of the corporation.
- Pharmacy Information Renewal: Verify or update pharmacy information.
- Payment: The College accepts credit card, cheque or money order.
