Andy Donald
Pharmacist
Andy Donald is a pharmacist and certified geriatric pharmacist. He practices at the Health Depot Pharmacy in London, Ontario, where he is the CEO and owner. On top of his BscPhm and RPh, Andy holds a BPHED, a BScH in Life Science, and an MSc Cellular Biology and Anatomy.
Patient care has always been Andy’s number one priority. As a student, he founded SOAPE (Students for Optimizing and Advocating Pharmacy Endeavours ) in an effort to unify the profession and advocate for increasing the roles pharmacists play in patient care. He continued this advocacy as a member of the Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA) membership committee from 2017 to 2018. After nearly a decade in the field, Andy has observed that the best outcomes for patients are achieved when pharmacists have the opportunity to go beyond the role of “pill checker” they so often fall into. The profession deserves a revolution, and Andy believes this change will largely come from adopting new and innovative technology.
By joining Ask a Peer, Andy hopes to guide more health care professionals towards a tool he has found particularly beneficial – one that improves both how care is provided and received.
