Red Tape Awareness Week<br />
On January 21, during Red Tape Awareness Week, OCP Registrar Marshall Moleschi<br />
participated in a press conference with Minister Tony Clement to announce the<br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> legislation that will allow regulated pharmacy technicians to oversee the<br />
transfer <strong>of</strong> prescriptions from one pharmacy to another – a task currently restricted to<br />
pharmacists. The event, held at Snowdon’s Guardian Pharmacy in Toronto, was part <strong>of</strong><br />
Minister Clement’s Red Tape Awareness Week. Community Pharmacist Jim Snowdon<br />
spoke during the event about how the reforms will help pharmacy technicians practice to<br />
their full scope and allow pharmacists to have more time to speak directly to patients to<br />
ensure they are getting the most from their medications.<br />
