The Government of Saskatchewan launched the Mental Health Medication Management pilot in Weyburn on April 25, 2025 and the Pharmacy Care Pilot project in Swift Current on December 8, 2023 to give patients access to more health care options.
The pilot projects, operating under collaborative practice agreements with physicians, allow pharmacists to assess and prescribe medications for certain chronic conditions.
Expanding the scope of practice for pharmacists optimizes their skills, improves patient care and builds capacity within our health care system – leading to greater access for patients and better health outcomes. Work is ongoing to further expand the scope of practice for pharmacists across the province.
The Government of Saskatchewan has expanded the ability of pharmacists to offer more care to patients. Upon completion of training, select pharmacists will be able to offer strep throat and ear infection services at approved pharmacy locations.
Eleven pharmacies have been selected to provide strep throat and ear infection assessment and treatment, including rapid testing for strep throat. Thirty seven additional pharmacies have been chosen to offer ear infection services only.
A total of 48 pharmacies will be participating and locations can be found at the Saskatchewan College of Pharmacy Professionals website.
When will the sore throat and ear services begin?
Selected pharmacies will offer these services as of January 22, 2025.
Will all pharmacists be required to train for and provide the new services?
Offering these services is optional but any pharmacist providing them is required to undergo training.
Who is eligible to receive these services?
All Saskatchewan residents that meet age requirements (i.e., 6 months of age and older for ear infection and 3 years of age and older for strep throat) with a valid Health Services Number are eligible.
How will my doctor know that I received one of these services from a pharmacist?
Assessment and test results will appear on the patient’s electronic medication profiles accessible to your doctor. Pharmacists may also send information directly to a patient’s primary practitioner.
What else do I need to know about these services?
As these are new services that pharmacists are providing, patients that have received this care (or their caregiver) will be mailed an optional survey to complete about their experience.
Also, patients who received services can expect to find the results within the Prescription History section of their MySaskHealthRecord (MSHR). For more information about MySaskHealthRecord visit the MySaskHealthRecord.
