The Association has been promoting the working conditions, professional skills and social position of its members since 1917. With nearly 9,000 members today, it is a credible player in both professional and economic decision-making processes.

The Pharmacists' Association is the biggest member organization of the Confederation of Unions for Academic Professionals in Finland (Akava) who independently negotiates the collective labor agreement. Membership in Akava, which is an umbrella organization for one-half million professionals with academic education, enhances the Pharmacists' Association's social position and influence.
