History[edit | edit source]
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.

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[edit | edit source]
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.
