Sexual and Reproductive Health

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is vital to a person’s health and wellbeing. It includes a wide range of health-care services and interventions. The unique public-facing role of pharmacists provides opportunities to serve the needs of the community through the delivery of SRH services thereby improving access to care.

CPhA has created the following toolkits to support the provision of SRH services in Canadian pharmacies for:

Indigenous
Indigenous Including Two-Spirit Individuals
(Coming soon)

These toolkits include a variety of resources for both pharmacists and patients in their care and are designed to easily integrate into practice as the scope of practice of pharmacists across Canada continues to expand. They contain practice resources to watch, download and print as required.

We’ve also created a dedicated patient resource page for easy access to all sexual and reproductive health patient resources, making it simple to share these materials directly with your patients.
