An Edmonton pharmacist has been found guilty of unprofessional conduct and fined $30,000 by the Alberta College of Pharmacy.

The penalty follows a tribunal for Si Huu Nguyen, whose licence to practice has been suspended for one year.

Nguyen is the licensee of V-Can Pharmacy in Edmonton, which closed in December 2018.

The college says a third-party insurer alleged he submitted hundreds of claims worth more than $100,000 that could not be supported by matching inventory purchase records.

The insurer also alleged that he failed to co-operate with a claims audit, created false dispensing records and stored pharmacy records outside of the licensed premises without authorization.
