About
Hoping for a covid-free year to come, we have some exciting plans at RGU Pharm-soc! Our aim is to provide and support an educational and social environment for pharmacy students. We hope to continue to encourage socialising between the various year groups of the MPharm degree and to inspire learning beyond the scope of the lecture theatre through various academic events and guest speakers.
Every year we have organised many successful events. Examples include adoption night, where all of the year groups come together to socialise also offering a point of contact or a "buddy" in an older year for our first years. We also look forward to another successful annual pharmacy ball, our flagship event where we will expect 350+ attendees. Some of our sponsors which make these events possible include ATIK and Community Pharmacy Scotland.
We collaborate with many UK-wide organisations to enhance the MPharm student experience such as the British Pharmaceutical Students Association, Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Pharmacist Support and many more. We are passionate about educating the wider public as well as students on the role of the pharmacist and aim to provide networking opportunities to enhance future careers.
We have a proven track record with many award-winning students both past and present winning awards both locally and nationally. This is our third year to work officially with the RGU Union as the society continues to go from strength to strength.
Everyone is welcome to join Pharm-soc, and we look forward to seeing many new faces! We strongly encourage all year groups to join us, it's a great way to meet like-minded people and to learn more than what's taught at uni. Particularly for the younger year groups, at PharmSoc you will get the opportunity to meet lots of new folk and to learn from the older year groups that have gone before you. We have lots to do to make up for time lost after covid, let's have some fun!!
Your membership includes a discount to our annual Pharmacy Ball in February, discounts in our sponsors pubs and clubs and free access to all our academic events and most social events.
