As part of the NUS Greater Good Series, a lunchtime discussion was held on 4^th April at the Regent Hotel Singapore on the topic “Advancing the role of the pharmacist through Education, Research and Collaboration”.

Moderated by A/P Rachel Ee (Director of Pharmaceutical Science Programme, Department of Pharmacy, NUS), the session analysed the latest advancements in the domain of pharmacy, with insights by prominent members of the pharmacy community such as A/P Lita Chew (Head of Pharmacy Department, National Cancer Center Singapore), A/P Alexandre Chan (Deputy Head (Clinical), Department of Pharmacy, NUS), and Ms Joyce Lim (Head of Marketing and Market Access, Johnson and Johnson).
