CSHP Saskatchewan Branch

• CSHP-SK Branch council has a dedicated PAS Liaison who maintains a voting seat on the PAS Board of Directors.
• Representatives from both organizations meet quarterly to discuss issues common to pharmacy professionals regardless of practice site, in support of advocacy efforts.  
• Collaboration occurs between the organizations for Pharmacy Appreciation Month campaigns to the public, as well as co-sponsorship of the Pharmacist and Technician Student membership promotion event. 
• PAS supports pharmacists interested in joining both organizations by providing a reduced membership fee (Joint CSHP-PAS membership).

The External Portfolio President, the Pharmacy Technician Representative, and the Student Representatives are responsible for sharing CSHP with SaskPolytechnic. Twice annually, the CSHP-SK team aims to do a presentation to first and second year pharmacy technician students about the benefits of membership, followed by a Q&A session. CSHP-SK Student Representatives also have an active relationship with pharmacy technician class representatives and hope to plan an annual Meet-and-Greet event. The first of these took place September 2024 and was a huge success for interdisciplinary friendship.
