Dear Industry Colleagues, Trade Partners, and Friends,
Healthcare is at an inflection point. The 35th Singapore Pharmacy Congress (SPC), taking place on 26–28 February 2027 at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, will address this reality head-on. This year’s theme, “Reframing Healthcare Decisions in a Changing World,” challenges us not only to navigate through an increasingly dynamic and volatile environment but to lead through it – with patients at the core of our choices regardless of our position along the pharmaceutical value chain.
Healthcare today is being shaped by a confluence of forces. Strong geopolitical tensions influence supply chains; the rise of AI transforms diagnosis and treatment; the proliferation of technology empowers patients with unprecedented access to information.
In this landscape, pharmacists must become active architects of change and consciously adapt our perspective – whether we are dispensing medications, shaping policy, conducting research, or driving innovation. We call on all pharmacists and pharmacy practitioners to consider how we can continue to value-add to the communities we serve. The question isn’t whether change will come; it’s whether we’ll shape it or be shaped by it.
For 35 years, the Singapore Pharmacy Congress has been a nexus for Singapore’s pharmacy community to come together to share best practices, learn, and grow from each other. This year, by bringing together delegates from across ASEAN – clinicians, academics, industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers – we’re creating Southeast Asia’s premier platform for pharmaceutical excellence. We aspire to enable strategic alliances and partnership opportunities without geographical borders with the ultimate goal to enable better care for patients.
As leaders in your industry, your partnership can amplify this vision. We invite you to join us in this year and explore opportunities to support various aspects of the congress. Your support will enable us to deliver a world-class programme, featuring renowned speakers, cutting-edge research and innovative exhibitions. You’ll gain access to the region’s most influential pharmacy professionals, showcase your innovations to decision-makers, and position your organisation at the forefront of healthcare transformation.
Join us in choosing the path forward. Contact us today to explore how your organisation can be part of this pivotal moment.
Yours Sincerely.
Mr Nick Sharp-Paul
Chief Operating Officer
Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha)
Mr Nick Sharp-Paul, based in Australia, leads AdPha’s Member Projects, Member Experience and Publications teams. He oversees the operational functions supporting Australia’s peak body for hospital pharmacy,— a community of more than 5,800 pharmacists and technicians navigating rapid change under constant pressure.
Over the past 18 months, Nick has helped steer AdPha through a series of high-stakes reframes: an ongoing national workforce crisis that has seen three-quarters of hospitals cut pharmacy services, met with an evidence-based case for a dedicated national workforce plan; the milestone of 3,000 practitioners completing or progressing an ANZCAP recognition portfolio, formalising standardised career pathways across Australia and New Zealand; and the rollout of Australia’s first Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacy Technicians, reshaping scope of practice at scale.
He also leads Pharmacy Forecast Australia, AdPha’s national foresight initiative that systematically gathers and synthesises expert opinion to help the profession anticipate — rather than merely react to — the decisions reshaping clinical, operational and workforce practice.
Across specialty practice, flagship clinical publications, academic journals and awards, Nick’s remit spans the practical infrastructure AdPha uses to confront pressures across the medicines and health products value chain, and to build durable models for practice development, workforce advancement and wellbeing — the same three pillars anchoring SPC 2027.
