• Encourage the voice <strong>of</strong> young pharmacists in PSS<br />

The idea to form the Young Pharmacists Chapter was first proposed by the President <strong>of</strong> PSS, Ms Christine<br />
Teng, on the basis that young pharmacists needed a channel to get together, voice their concerns and bring<br />
about positve changes. This idea was echoed and approved by Council.<br />
The criteria for admission into this chapter is that the pharmacist must be aged 35 or under. A volunteer<br />
recruitment drive at the SPC 2011 introduced the chapter to PSS members and attracted a group <strong>of</strong> young<br />
pharmacists who subsequently formed this new chapter. The first meeting <strong>of</strong> the Young Pharmacists Chapter<br />
was held in November 2011.<br />
The talentime in conjunction with PSS’s <strong>Annual</strong> General Meeting to be held on 17 th Mar 2012 is the brainchild<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Young Pharmacists Chapter. Look out for more to come from these young and energetic new<br />
pharmacists!<br />
