Dear Pharmily,

Help MOH improve the series by completing this survey here (https://go.gov.sg/knowyourmedsfeedback) and stand a chance to win a $5 voucher!

Dear Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences,

We are excited to invite you to an afternoon of games and camaraderie on 13 November from 4 to 6 PM at Basketball Court 5 (map attached). This event aims to strengthen our connections within the department and foster a more engaging and supportive environment for everyone.

Let’s join hands and piff some balls at each other and score some points. Work together with or against your profs – whose ball game will bring them fame? It's a fantastic opportunity to step away from our usual routines, share some laughs, and get to know one another better. House points will be credited for attendance!

Bring a drink bottle and dress in appropriate sports clothes. We’re looking forward to a lively and enjoyable afternoon with all of you!

Please RSVP by 11th November. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out.
