Advocacy
The Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP) is a national voluntary organization of pharmacists committed to patient care through the advancement of safe, effective medication use in hospitals and other collaborative healthcare settings. CSHP supports its members through advocacy, education, information sharing, promotion of best practices, and facilitation of research and recognition of excellence.
CSHP-OB believes that hospital pharmacists have an important and unique perspective on health care and the needs of patient in Ontario. We know that hospital pharmacists make a difference in the lives of their patients and that the role of the hospital pharmacist continues to become more and more important as medication regimens become more and more complex.
CSHP-OB is diligently working to make sure that the voice of hospital pharmacists is heard. Through our relationships with The Ontario College of Pharmacists, The Ontario Pharmacists Association, The Ontario Hospital Association or directly through the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, the Branch is working to review legislation, policy, and developments that will impact hospital practice
