“I know the CPA are committed to supporting pharmacists to improve knowledge about medicines and to advocate for the profession at the highest level. I am delighted to be able to support them in their vital work and help improve access to healthcare for all.”

Rao Vadlamudi

“As a drug discovery scientist, I am aware of the importance of making quality drugs for treating unmet medical needs. It is also essential that these quality drugs need to be provided to patients under appropriate advice from a qualified and well-trained pharmacist. Although the availability of quality drugs has improved significantly over the years, quality pharmacist services are still a distant reach to people in many countries within the commonwealth and throughout the world. The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association is striving hard to empower pharmacists throughout the commonwealth to improve the health and well-being of people. It is indeed a great honour to become a patron of the CPA
to support the association in achieving its noble objective of advancing Health for the public benefit.”

Andrew McLachlan

“It is a great privilege to contribute to the Commonwealth Pharmacy Association. I continue to be inspired by the calibre of the pharmacists I meet thorough CPA and the difference they make in the lives of people they serve as clinicians, educators, researchers and leaders. I have been the lucky recipient of help, guidance and mentorship in my career as a pharmacist. In reality I will never be able to pay back those people who have helped me (and many others), but I can “pay it forward” by contributing to CPA and other organisations that are well placed to make a difference in healthcare. We are definitely stronger together in CPA and will have a greater impact on the communities we serve.”

Nancy Ho

“The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association unites Pharmacists throughout the World to contribute further to the health and well-being of everyone. It empowers pharmacists to show that they care and being a Patron provides an avenue for us to do so. As trusted professionals, it is indeed enriching to be part of a healthcare team and be inclusive in our campaign to make the world a healthier place. Join us today and together we can make a difference!”

Ashok Soni OBE, has been instrumental to the development of our partnership with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. He has been a great supporter of the CPA for many years and has held previous roles as CPA Treasurer and CPA Councillor for Great Britain. It is great to be able to welcome him as our newest Patron.

“The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association recognises and embraces the power of diversity.

By way of its projects and activities, CPA continues to strengthen the network of pharmacists and to support them in all facets of pharmacy practice, and in every corner of the Commonwealth.

I’m honoured to be able to work with a dedicated and committed team of health professionals and to contribute, even in a small way, to the important ongoing work of CPA, enhancing the capacity and skills of pharmacists in their important public health role.”

Mahendra Patel

“What a huge honour and privilege it is to be serving the Commonwealth Pharmacy Association as one of its esteemed Patrons. I am looking forward to building on my existing relationships in different parts of the Commonwealth countries as well as creating new ones, in helping to advance pharmacy practice and strengthen pharmacy education wherever possible.

Working together with greater camaraderie and stronger belief is paramount to helping ensure we have a 21st century pharmacy infrastructure that is fit for purpose, and central to improving people’s health and addressing some of the prevailing health inequalities within many of these countries.

The Commonwealth Pharmacy Association is the perfect platform to help make this happen by supporting our pharmacists in being confident of providing the best possible care at all times.”

Roger Odd

“I have been part of the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association now for several years and look forward to being a Patron. I firmly believe that the CPA has so much to offer for the benefit and support of Pharmacists across the Commonwealth, and in so doing improve the health and welfare of people in those countries.”

John Chang

CPA as an international pharmacy organisation provides good opportunity for information sharing and experience beyond national borders. As a pharmacist in Malaysia, a member of the Commonwealth, I appreciate close involvement and for having served in the Exco and Council contributing to this pursuit and networking with other member nations. It is heartening to see CPA despite facing challenges continued to actively motivate and support its member associations to embrace professionalism and practice excellence. It is indeed an honour to be invited as Patron of CPA.

Claire Anderson

I am delighted to be a patron of the CPA. I am privileged to be part of the work CPA is doing across the commonwealth with wonderful colleagues to improve pharmacy practice and policy.
