The event was graced by A/Prof Lita Chew, respective institutions’ representatives, PSS Chapter representatives and guest speakers.

This was followed by the Pre-reg Montage 2023 showcasing the lighter moments of the pre-registration of pharmacists in the various training institutes.
A/Prof Lita Chew, President of the Singapore Pharmacy Council, gave the opening address of the Closing Ceremony on ‘Leadership in Pharmacy’. A/Prof Chew shared her philosophy of the path of growth and the direction newly registered pharmacists are going to embark on and gave her advice
on the ways to overcome initial challenges they would face as they grow in their profession.
This year’s closing ceremony also included a segment of sharing of PSS activities and another segment of sharing by Young Pharmacist Seniors, whereby second-year pharmacist Mr Myat Thu Kyaw shared his learning and growing journey as a young hospital pharmacist and industry sector pharmacist Ms Erinn Lee Si Min similarly shared her experiences. A common thread that runs through these sharing by young pharmacists in different sectors is passion and interest in one’s work will always help one to find ways to overcome initial difficulties encountered.
The ceremony was then concluded with the presentation of tokens of appreciation to chief preceptors and a photo taking session.
