Health T.A.G. Committee

23rd September 2023 marked the second year running for Health T.A.G. (Test, Advise, Go)! This year, we brought Health T.A.G. to residents in #YioChuKang where more than 400 participants joined us at Blk 644 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4. They got to test and find out their health condition, obtain advice and explore how to take better ownership of their own health through educational and fun activities brought together by our community partners. Residents were also treated to performances put up by various interest groups.

We are honoured to be joined by Mr Yip Hon Weng, advisor to Yio Chu Kang Grassroots Organisations, and various stakeholders during our health fair.

Health T.A.G. @ YCK would not have been possible without our co-organisers - Yio Chu Kang Grassroots Organisation and MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation (MOHT), the steadfast support from our various community partners, as well as our volunteers - both students and pharmacists alike, who have went above and beyond to serve our participants. We look forward to continuing our movement in empowering the public to take ownership of their health in 2024!

The Department hosted 8 students from Faculty of Pharmacy, Universiti Malaya (UM), Malaysia on 20th September. Dr Linda Hong and Dr Chen Wenqian welcomed the group by sharing about the department and our Masters programmes, followed by a tour of the research facilities and class observation. The visit culminated with a meeting with representatives from NUS Pharmaceutical Society, where students from both universities shared about the student life in NUS and UM.

Mun Weng Hong, Year 3 UM Pharmacy Student said "We enjoyed the visit and interaction with the faculty members and students. It was a great opportunity for us to visit the research lab and to observe a class. We hope to have more collaboration with NUS Pharmacy in future."

Pharmacy Profession Awareness Committee

Real Talk is a new event organised by the NUSPS Pharmacy Profession Awareness Committee (PPAC). This series aims to create an open and inspiring space where pharmacists from diverse backgrounds can come together to share their personal journeys and the challenges they encountered throughout their academic and professional paths. Real Talk offers current pharmacy students a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the realities of being a pharmacist. By hearing firsthand accounts from experienced professionals like Mr Hwang Yi Kun a hospital pharmacist from Singapore General Hospital and Mr Clivia Yap a community pharmacist from Watsons, students can develop a deeper understanding of the profession and gain practical tips on how to overcome obstacles they may face in their own journeys.

Academic Committee

“Mastering the Pharma Landscape: Expert Advice for Students” was the second webinar organised by the 62nd NUSPS Academic Committee held under “NUSPS Beyond”. Students had a chance to hear from Mr Fadhli Adesta, Head of Partnerships of Oncoshot, about his career progression and experience in the pharmaceutical industry and pose any questions they have regarding the subject topics being discussed. This talk aimed to provide students with greater insights to the multifaceted dimensions and the intertwining of roles within the industry and to inspire individuals who aspire to hold important roles in the industry in the future.

International Relations Committee

Global Health Forum is an annual event by NUSPS International Relations Committee to introduce students to pertinent global health issues. This year, it is planned for the 2nd of September and titled “Introduction to Global Health and the Role of Pharmacy in Global Health”.
