In recent years, the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) of Canada has set forth revised model standards for pharmacy compounding pertaining to both non-hazardous and hazardous sterile preparations. In light of a thorough review of previous guidelines, NAPRA has now released revised model standards for pharmacy compounding of non-sterile preparations. These standards represent the minimum requirements to be implement by compounding pharmacists across Canada.

This webinar will provide participants with a thorough review of NAPRA’s standards for non-sterile compounding of both non-hazardous and hazardous drugs. This activity will place special emphasis on quality assurance measures such as the implementation of appropriate policies and procedures, personnel training and assessment, and the necessity for equipment and preparatory verifications. Other topics discussed include beyond-use-dating and hazardous drug handling requirements. Participants will leave this activity with a better understanding of the tools necessary to help evaluate their practice, develop appropriate procedures, implement quality controls, and ensure overall quality and safety of preparations.
