The 25th Singapore Pharmacy Congress was successfully held on 12th and 13th September 2015 at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. There were about 800 participants from both local and regional areas such as Hong Kong, Indonesia who attended the congress. Aside from the 2-day main congress, there was also a high turnout for all our pre-congress workshops, which were held on 10th and 11th September.
This year, the congress is co-organized by the Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore and the Department of Pharmacy, National University of Singapore to commemorate our 110th founding anniversaries. The collaboration also aimed to foster stronger ties between the academics and practitioners so as to achieve greater success in pushing the frontiers of pharmacy practice and pharmaceutical services.
The theme of the congress was “Pioneering Care for Tomorrow”. It was chosen to demonstrate the commitment of the practitioners and scientists in bringing the best and latest evidence-based care to the patients in the not so distant future. The Congress opened to much fanfare, with Associate Professor Benjamin Ong, Director of Medical Services, Ministry of Heath, gracing the opening ceremony as the Guest-of-Honour.
