Dear Pharmily,
This time of the semester is approaching.
No, we’re not referring to the finals, but instead, IT’S TIME FOR NUSPS’S SEMESTER-LY EXAM WELFARE PACKS! :D
All pharmacy students will be entitled to one welfare pack, which will be given out to you during your lectures in the first week of April!
Year 1s: Monday, 2nd Apr, 4pm at LT 21
Year 2s: Monday, 2nd Apr , 10am at LT 22
Year 3s: Monday, 2nd Apr, 2pm, at LT 22

Those who miss them out can collect from the ps room 12-2pm from 4th Apr onwards.
The welfare pack this year contains a canned drink, and in an effort to support Rag, NUSPS Welfare hereby encourages you to make a small contribution to the RAG team by washing your used cans and leaving them at a designated box in the PS room.
All the best for finals! :D
NUSPS WELFARE LOVES YOU!
With much love,
NUSPS Welfare Committee.

Dear Pharmily,
The yearly Xepa – Soul Pattinson Industrial Field Trip is back! This time round, the Academic Committee will be organizing it during the summer holidays!
Xepa – Soul Pattinson is one of the first pharmaceutical companies to introduce off-patent pharmaceuticals to Malaysia. To this end, their laboratories develop products – formulating, designing and validating – that are then manufactured to exacting standards. From there, their marketing team researches, brands, positions, promotes and handles sales of their products to private and government-run pharmacies, clinics and hospitals, within Malaysia and the region.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: 27th July, 2012 (Friday)
Time: 630am to 9pm (estimated) – Breakdown: (1) Travelling: 7am to 11am
(2) Lunch + Heading to Xepa SP: 11am to 2pm
(3) Xepa SP Plant Visit: 2pm to 5pm
(4) Travelling back home (Dinner provided): 5pm to 9pm
2-way transport will be provided from and to Newton Hawker Centre Car Park.
During the visit (from 2pm to 5pm), a presentation will be given on the overview of Xepa – Soul Pattinson and the services they provide (e.g. Quality Assurance, Quality Management etc.). After which, there will be a plant tour where we can get an insight into the manufacturing and QC processes of off-patent pharmaceuticals. Other useful information such as how stringent measures are taken during the manufacturing processes will also be included.
A visit to a souvenir store will be arranged during lunch time, so take this chance to grab some Malaysian products back home!
If you are interested, do sign up now at: <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDdwRm9ma3k0NGNKVHJuY1Y5SHlBdnc6MQ> by 14/04/12!
