Welcome to the 32nd Singapore Pharmacy Congress!
The Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore (PSS) will be hosting our annual pharmacy congress on the 9th and 10th of September 2023, at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore. The theme for this year, “Reimagining Possibilities – The Pharmacist’s DNA”, highlights the innovative ways by which pharmacists have evolved to explore the new frontiers of the healthcare system, given their indispensable role in improving patient outcomes.
The progressive healthcare landscape has significantly expanded the role of pharmacists from being dispensers of medications to becoming integral members of healthcare teams. By ‘reimagining possibilities’, we hope to redefine the roles of pharmacists as emerging leaders in patient care, public health, education and research.
The Singapore Pharmacy Congress (SPC) continues to serve as a collaborative and innovative platform to allow delegates to share the latest scientific updates and advancements with the pharmacy community and other healthcare professionals. It will also provide an opportunity for strategic growth by enabling pharmacists to reconnect and build new networks in these exciting times of advanced pharmacy practice.
We look forward to seeing you at the Singapore Pharmacy Congress 2023!
