The UK Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA) is a member association for clinical pharmacy practitioners. We encourage, support and promote advanced practice in pharmacy. The UKCPA actively develops clinical pharmacy practice as well as developing individual practitioners, and we are frequently at the forefront of initiatives such as establishing professional curricula, developing professional recognition (credentialing) processes, and developing professional tools and frameworks for practitioners. The Association was established in 1981 to bring together like-minded pharmacists from different practice areas to share knowledge, research and experiences. This remains our core aim today. We provide networking and educational opportunities for our members to discuss and resolve current clinical issues and share best practice. In April 2011 the UKCPA became an official partner of the pharmacy professional body, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and we work closely with other specialist pharmacy organisations, professional bodies and representatives of healthcare professions. Pharmacists, technicians and other health care professionals providing clinical services to patients will benefit from joining the UKCPA. Current membership comprises over 2,650 people from all areas of the profession: hospital, community, academia, industry and pharmacists and technicians working at the interface between primary and secondary care.
