The College of Pharmacists of British Columbia is the regulatory authority responsible for licensing and overseeing pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies to ensure safe, ethical, professional, and culturally safe pharmacy care. The non-profit company is based in BC. It operates under provincial legislation and manages licensing processes, including new applications, renewals, reinstatements, and changes in pharmacy ownership or operations. The organization emphasizes indigenous cultural safety, cultural humility, and anti-racism, requiring annual education for pharmacy professionals in these areas. It has adopted practice standards developed with other health colleges and supports indigenous reconciliation efforts through initiatives such as the eyhh slaxin (good medicine) line and the collection of indigenous identity data. The College administers the continuous improvement, reporting, collaborating, and learning (CIRCL) program and the practice review program (PRP) to promote medication safety and ensure compliance with standards. Additional responsibilities include managing complaint procedures, professional liability insurance information, criminal record checks, and certification programs for pharmacists. The College provides resources and guidance on pharmacy operations, complaint resolution, and legislative compliance, serving as a central hub for regulatory information and professional development in pharmacy practice.
