Annual Conference - Final Day!

As with tradition, the conference ends with the election day to elect new committees for the new year! The day is fully packed with candidates and their proposers giving speeches on why they should be elected for their nominated role.

Laura, the returning officer, lead the elections such that it is fair and unbiased. There are many options you can call to vote for the particular executive role, such as simple vote, secret vote, simple delegate vote and secret delegate vote. Therefore, to be elected as a BPSA executive, candidates will have to really impress the delegation before they can take up those heavy responsibilities!

And of course, with a new beginning, there must be a wonderful ending, which is the BPSA Annual Ball! This year it was held at the Mercure Leicester Grand Hotel, one of the oldest (and most grand) hotels in Leicester!

Not to mention the food at the ball was also the best throughout the week!

Every year, the winners of the McNeil Responding to Symptoms Competition in the Malaysia Campus is sponsored to attend the BPSA Annual conference, which should be continued as the benefits are many folds!

There's just too much to be said in this blog about the annual conference. I would be more than happy to describe to you about the annual conference experience and all about BPSA. There's just so much to learn and develop oneself in the pharmacy career, and the annual conference is just a one of many stepping stones into the broadness of the profession!

And just to let you know, the next annual conference will be held at LIVERPOOL! Our host will be the Liverpool John Moores University, so make it your new year resolution for year 2015 to attend the BPSA 73rd Annual Conference!!
