SGUL Pharmacological Society

2018/2019 was the first time St George's had it’s own PharmSoc! Despite being in it’s first year of running, PharmSoc held many successful events and received lots of support from both the students and the staff at our university! St George's has one of the best clinical pharmacology groups in all of the UK. Led by Professor Emma Baker, the St George's clinical pharmacology team dominated the BPS annual conference this year. We had many successes and did our university proud. St George's students and staff won four prizes, chaired three symposia and gave five podium and nine poster presentations!
We are looking forward to having another successful year and would love to welcome you to join our society.
