Pharmacy U Toronto 2026
- April 11, 2026 · 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM
- The International Centre, Mississauga, ON
- Presented by Pharmacy U
On Saturday, April 11, Dr. Nardine Nakhla, MAPflow's co-founder and CEO, gave two morning talks at Pharmacy U Toronto 2026 at The International Centre in Mississauga: a breakfast session on the business case for clinical care under Ontario's expanded scope, then a symposium on the pharmacist's role in skin health.
The Business Case for Clinical Care: Funding Expanded Scope in Ontario Pharmacy
This session takes a broader strategic lens, helping pharmacy owners understand the revenue potential of a fully activated clinical service model under expanded scope and what it realistically costs to get there. Drawing on evidence from comparable scope expansions in other provinces, it makes the ROI case for investing in the physical and technological infrastructure needed to deliver minor ailment services consistently and safely.
The Pharmacist: An Ally for Skin Health
This symposium will address the key role that the pharmacist can play to help patients gain access to skin health support. A growing concern of patients is sensitive skin. We will examine how environmental aggressors, including various types of UV radiation and pollution, contribute to skin reactivity and compromise skin health.
About Pharmacy U Toronto
Pharmacy U is a one-day conference for pharmacy professionals and students, run by EnsembleIQ. The 2026 Toronto edition filled Saturday, April 11 at The International Centre in Mississauga with education sessions and an afternoon vendor hall.
Why these talks matter
Ontario pharmacists can now assess and prescribe for a growing list of common ailments. The first talk asked what it takes to make that work as a business: the revenue a fully activated clinical service can bring, what it costs to get there, and how independent owners can finance it. MAPflow Clinical Services is built for that work, with guided minor ailment assessments in Ontario, the documentation written for the pharmacist, and the province’s rules built in.
Both talks drew on Dr. Nakhla’s own field. She specializes in minor ailments, non-prescription therapeutics and patient self-care, and teaches at the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy.
