Membership Information

Pharmacists Manitoba is all about you, our members, and providing resources to help you adapt to ever-changing practice while continuing to advocate on your behalf. Over the past year, Pharmacists Manitoba has completed the Strategic Plan for 2023 – 2026 and has identified the following pillars:

• Support the pharmacy community in awareness and navigation of the changing pharmacy landscape and environment.
• Strategically network and develop meaningful opportunities to collaborate and partner with interprofessional networks.
• Work collaboratively with government to advance pharmacy practice in Manitoba (scope and compensation).

Some of the actions that will be undertaken to advance these objectives are:

• Educate our members on upcoming disruptors like Amazon, AI, big data, tech companies through continuing education opportunities such as the Conference, virtual events, and/or by sharing tools and resources
• Provide new and timely member benefits and resources which directly relate to modifications to regulations and advancements made within the pharmacy profession
• Sustain the role of a "Pharmacy Practice Advisor" or staff pharmacist on the Pharmacists Manitoba team to assist with our advocacy efforts on your behalf.

The Provincial Election will take place in 2023 and development of the election strategy is already underway. The strategy will include communicating the value of pharmacists (and pharmacy teams) within the healthcare system and positioning ourselves as a solution to many strains on the system.
