We Innovate so You Can Focus on Patient Care

Join Our Team at Murphy's Pharmacies!

At Murphy's Pharmacies, we're redefining the role of independent Community pharmacy in our healthcare system, and we're looking for passionate Pharmacists to join our team and make our shared vision come to life!

We've been Island family-owned and operated for over 44 years, with locations across Prince Edward Island and beyond.

Murphy’s Pharmacies is seeking a dedicated and experienced Compounding Pharmacist in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to lead our Compounding practice. Areas of focus include healthcare professional and patient education, individual consultations and community-based seminars along with lab oversight to ensure safe, compliant, and high-quality pharmaceutical compounding. This opportunity leverages a passion for personalized medicine and patient-centred care.

Re-energize your professional career!

• Our Pharmacists Focus on Patient Care: We've implemented central fill to process refills, built support teams that do prescription data entry and clinical validation, handle phone calls and schedule pharmacy services appointments. With this support, Pharmacists truly focus on patient care and practice at the highest scope possible - without big corporate pressures over professional practice.

• Work-Life Balance: We're not open late or have extended hours on weekends, so our teams can enjoy everything that life has to offer on beautiful Prince Edward Island.

If you're a like-minded pharmacist who wants to make a real difference in people's lives, we'd love to hear from you!
