CPA Academy Launches!
Our new workforce development ecosystem is now open to CPA members
The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association (CPA) is today delighted to formally launch the CPA Academy.
Built upon the success of our continuing professional development (CPD) offer, the CPA Academy brings all of our workforce capability building initiatives under one roof for the first time. This makes it easier than ever for pharmacists across the Commonwealth and beyond to access meaningful, locally relevant, high-quality professional development opportunities, particularly those in historically under-resourced settings.
Upon logging into the Academy portal, you will find:
- CPD: An expansion of our revolutionary pharmacy-specific CPD, going beyond our existing e-learning platform to also include in-person workshops, educational webinars, and a core repository of key tools and resources for pharmacists.
- Certificate programmes and pathways: Our highly commended leadership fellowships and recognised clinical certificate pathways.
- Learning experiences: Strategic partnerships, global health exchanges and coming soon, a pan-Commonwealth mentorship programme, leveraging our extensive network of Commonwealth national pharmacy associations and global collaborators.
We are proud that our CPA Academy has been co-created with our national partners and shaped by what pharmacists have told us they need. It offers structure, momentum, and community, and recognises pharmacists not only as service providers, but as educators, leaders, and changemakers – central to CPA’s commitment to position pharmacists at the centre of strong health systems.
“To everyone who’s been part of the journey so far – thank you. The CPA Academy exists because of your insight, dedication and leadership. As we look ahead, we’re committed to listening to and learning from pharmacists, mentors, learners, and partners from every corner of the Commonwealth to help us shape its growth.
“Your voice will guide us. Your leadership will inspire others. And together, we’ll reimagine what’s possible for pharmacy across the Commonwealth.”
