History and Background of the CPP

Under the visionary leadership of Professor Vincent Lee and Professor Kenneth Lee, the CPP was formed in 2009 as a working group to advance the scope of pharmacy practice in Hong Kong. With the dedication of a group of pharmacists, the CPP was officially established in September 2010.

The CPP is a non-profit, independent professional body aiming to ensure the highest professional standards for pharmacy practice in Hong Kong. It provides formal accreditation for specialist training and aims to become a statutory accreditation body for advanced pharmacy practice.

The CPP has developed an accreditation framework for pharmacists to become specialists or fellows. It has also initiated the “Advanced Pharmacotherapy Workshop” to assist pharmacists in preparing for international pharmacy certification examinations.
