The College of Clinical Pharmacy aims to offer training for 400 pharmacists and pharmacy support staff annually.
The college was launched by Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary during the SingHealth Duke-NUS Education Conference 2024.
The College of Clinical Pharmacy will enhance the training and education needs of SingHealth’s pharmacy staff – which includes more than 1,400 pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy assistants. “By sharpening their skills and deepening their understanding of their role in new community-based care models, pharmacists will be better poised to supplement care and extend their roles in areas such as illness prevention, encouraging wellness and active ageing in the community beyond hospital walls,” SingHealth said.
“In the past year alone, these institutions together have provided comprehensive, impactful training to over 100,000 healthcare and administrative learners through more than 500 diverse programmes,” the minister said. “We aim to keep pushing the frontiers of clinical pharmacy and strengthen our capabilities to address current gaps and emerging health challenges both locally and internationally,” said SingHealth group chief pharmacist Lita Chew.
