CSHP Official PublicationsDefinitions for Official Publications Guidelines are a detailed description of a specific service, program or other aspect of a pharmacist's practice, which reflect the Society's standards. Standards are established by the Society to describe a desired and achievable level of performance that is applicable to all pharmacists practicing in a healthcare facility, regardless of geographical location, specialty, experience or area of practice. Statements are formal declarations made by CSHP that clearly express the stand/position of the Society on any issue related to the practice of pharmacy in an organized healthcare facility.

Standards, guidelines and information papers written by CSHP are accessible to CSHP members (log in using your email address and membership number as your password); these publications are also available for purchase by non-members.
