Does contacting the Ontario Pharmacy Health Program have an impact on my ability to practice?

The identity of registrants who contact OPHP directly (i.e., make a self-referral) is not shared with the College and participation in OPHP does not mean that you are no longer able to practice pharmacy.

In some cases, and upon review with your healthcare providers and the program’s medical advisor, OPHP staff may recommend that you temporarily stop practicing, allowing you to achieve medical stability and to put into place the supports you need to practice safely.

OPHP will work with you, your treatment providers and your employer to develop a plan for modified work or return to work as necessary.
