The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) is a professional body representing the interests of pharmacy owners in the United Kingdom. Established in 1921, the NPA has been at the forefront of supporting the community pharmacy sector.

History

The NPA was founded in 1921 as the National Chemists' and Druggists' Association. It was established to protect the interests of the pharmacy profession and to provide support to its members. The association changed its name to the National Pharmacy Association in 2005 to better reflect its role and the evolving nature of the pharmacy profession.

Role and Functions

The NPA provides a range of services to its members, including professional and legal advice, training and development, and business support. It also represents the interests of its members to government, regulators, and other stakeholders. The NPA is committed to promoting the value of community pharmacy as an essential part of the healthcare system.

Membership

Membership of the NPA is open to pharmacy owners in the UK. The association has over 10,000 members, representing approximately half of all pharmacies in the UK. Members benefit from a range of services and support, including access to professional advice and resources, training and development opportunities, and representation at a national level.

Advocacy

The NPA is a strong advocate for the pharmacy profession. It works to influence policy and decision-making at a national level, and to promote the value of community pharmacy to the public, policymakers, and other stakeholders. The NPA's advocacy work includes lobbying, public relations, and campaigning on issues of importance to the pharmacy profession.
