The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) was established in 1921 as the trade association
of community pharmacy owners. To reflect the changes in the pharmacy environment, the NPA
now extends membership and its associated benefits to all members of the community pharmacy
sector.
The Association ensures relevant and proactive support is available to its members
assisting them in the successful alignment of their professional and commercial objectives.
The NPA plays an important role in advising pharmacists on all aspects of pharmacy practice
and provides comprehensive insurance for its members to safeguard the public should things
go wrong. The NPA also has an important role in helping pharmacists develop, implement and
promote additional pharmacy services.
All pharmacists who are members of the NPA have available to them a wealth of expertise
and information to improve their services to their communities. The NPA provides a variety
