Virtual Seminar – February 4, 2021

February 4, 2021

Course Format

Blended learning activity that includes a live virtual seminar (8 hours) where you can connect online, in real time with peers from across the country and interact using open mic, Q&A sessions, group discussions, polls, and online chats; a comprehensive manual that you can review at your leisure; and a learner assessment to reinforce key concepts and ensure competency.

Course Description

In recent years, Canada’s National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA)* published Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-sterile Preparations and the companion Guidance Document for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-sterile Preparations. This program takes these standards and provides practical and applicable solutions to achieve compliance and best practices in an efficient and effective manner:

  • Establish time management goals to implement the standards of practice
  • Develop quality assurance and verification programs
  • Perform drug and preparatory procedure risk assessments
  • Relate practice risk assessment to facility design, personal protective equipment, and personnel training requirements
  • Learn how to detail master formulation records and compounding records
  • Document standard operating procedures
  • Address competency and compliance requirements     

The overarching goal of this program is to guide participants through a smooth transition to a new standard of practice, while continuing to manage and oversee current compounding operations.


Intended audience

Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy managers practicing non-sterile compounding in Canada. Ideal for providers in need of practical tools and solutions on how to implement and be compliant with NAPRA’s 2018 Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-sterile Preparations.


Learning Objectives

Pharmacists & Pharmacy Technicians

Learning objectives for this program will be based on a combination of three types of objectives as outlined by the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy:

Knowledge Measurement Objectives

  1. Identify elements of the current regulatory framework for compounding in Canada as it applies to Federal, Provincial/Territorial jurisdictional law, and standards of practice.
  2. Describe quality assurance, risk management, and verification program requirements outlined in the Guidance Document for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-sterile Preparations.
  3. Identify policy and procedure requirements that reflect the current model standards.
  4. Detail current requirements of master formulation and compounding records.
  5. Discuss approaches to ensure personnel safety, and the quality and safety of non-sterile preparations.

Reflective Assessment Objectives (integration of concepts and ideas)

  1. Apply and adapt standards of practice to best suit your compounding practice.
  2. Demonstrate the application and integration of a learned policy and procedure infrastructure into your practice.
  3. Differentiate competency assessments from compliance indicators.
  4. Integrate a best-practice approach commensurate with the size, complexity, and risks associated specifically to your compounding practice.

Authentic Assessment Objectives (compounding practice performance-based)

  1. Develop a strategic action plan to manage the implementation of the standards of practice.

Testimonial

"I recently attended the LP3 Network’s NAPRA Non-sterile Seminar and I am definitely glad I did. As I am sure most pharmacy members that have read the standards would agree with, the new standards and guidance document were extremely confusing and hard to interpret. The seminar cleared up all the questions I had and presented ways to make the interpretations much simpler. The presenter, Mr. Quinton Didyk, was very knowledgeable and was able to thoroughly answer the questions of every attendee. The seminar itself was organized and well timed, with helpful workbooks and planners that would not only be useful during the seminar but is definitely coming in handy throughout the process of implementation. Despite the amount and depth of material that was covered, the event overall was engaging and even fun! I look forward to attending more events in the future with LP3 Network and am particularly interested in events on specialized areas of compounding, such as pain management and HRT. I definitely consider these seminars to be an investment as the knowledge and practical skills that can be gained from them can help further develop the compounding business in the long run."
