About the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA)

The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association is the professional body for pharmacists in the 56 countries of the Commonwealth. We are an accredited organisation of the Commonwealth, an active member of the Commonwealth Health Professions and Partners Alliance, and (since 2015) independent charity funded by a mixture of membership fees, grant income, charitable donations and partnerships. Our membership consists of the National Pharmacy Associations of the Commonwealth or their equivalent bodies, plus thousands of individual pharmacists committed to developing our profession at a global level.

The CPA Academy is an initiative by the Association to help strengthen healthcare systems around the world by investing in the continuing professional development of pharmacists across the Commonwealth. Originally launched in 2021 as the CPD Platform, the Academy is fast becoming one of the most comprehensive and well developed CPD resources available to pharmacists at an affordable or no cost, especially for those practising in lower-and-middle income countries.
