The National Pharmacy Association is a British industry trade association for community pharmacies.
History
It was formed in 1921. On average, an adult visits a pharmacy each year around 14 times. Males aged 16-24 use pharmacies the least.
Function
It represents virtually all owners of pharmacies including large chains - e.g. Boots or Lloyds Pharmacy.
Like many subscription industry trade associations, it offers insurance and legal services. It keeps members up to date with recent developments and new drugs, and offers training and education. It also mediates with the NHS, on behalf of its members.
Structure
It has a regional structure of representation within a division of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
