The UKCPA is organised to build and support communities of practice around interest areas - practitioners can talk to each other on a daily basis in order to solve individual clinical problems or create systems, methods and guidelines to deal with clinical scenarios on a local, regional or even national basis.
The content is provided by coal face clinical practitioners and targeted at various levels of practice, from beginners to expert.
The UKCPA is a partner of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, the professional body for the pharmacy profession in England, Wales and Scotland.
The UKCPA currently has more than 2,500 members in the UK and overseas from all areas of the profession including hospital, community, academia, and industry, as well as pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working at the interface between primary and secondary care.
The business management group makes executive decisions and approves expenditure in consultation with the general committee.
