The Manitoba government has expanded pharmacists’ scope of practice, allowing them to assess for, prescribe and administer eligible birth control, making it easier for Manitobans to access reproductive health care close to home. It’s another step forward in improving access to reproductive health care across Manitoba.” “We really appreciate the government recognizing the immense skill and training pharmacists have to be able to provide this important type of patient care,” said Jennifer Hlynsky, vice-president, Pharmacists Manitoba. The expanded service builds on the Manitoba government’s commitment to provide eligible prescription contraceptives at no cost through the Manitoba Enhanced Pharmacare Program. By allowing patients to access contraceptive assessments, prescriptions and injectable contraception through participating pharmacies, the Manitoba government is improving timely access to care and expanding the scope of pharmacists’ work across the province.
