Joint letter from OCP,<br />
CPSO, OPA & OMA Regarding<br />
Adapting / Renewing<br />
Prescriptions<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> ongoing collaboration relating to pharmacists’ expanded scope legislation, the <strong>Ontario</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Pharmacists</strong> (OCP), the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> Physicians and Surgeons <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> (CPSO),<br />
the <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>Pharmacists</strong>’ Association (OPA) and the <strong>Ontario</strong> Medical Association (OMA) have<br />
developed a joint letter which is circulating to pharmacists and physicians throughout <strong>Ontario</strong>.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the letter is to clarify certain aspects <strong>of</strong> the regulations and address several<br />
issues that are emerging in practice situations. It is acknowledged that both physicians and<br />
pharmacists have a role to play in optimizing medication management and educating patients on<br />
the importance <strong>of</strong> managing and maintaining continuity <strong>of</strong> care. All pharmacists are urged to<br />
collaborate and communicate with prescribers in their area for the benefit <strong>of</strong> their mutual patients.<br />
