Our Department is well-known for its dedication and
excellence in teaching. Not one to rest on our laurels, we will continue
to strive to improve on learning outcomes using a combination of
pedagogical methods so as to achieve the goal of ensuring that our
students are able to ‘’learn how to learn’’ and become the thinkers and
problem solvers of the future. This is critical to producing the best
practitioners as well as researchers.
In the context of research, 2016 heralds the start of
the national Research Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2020. This is a
5-year national research plan and RIE 2020 will focus on greater
collaboration and integration of effort across research performers as
well as creating and capturing value for the society. To a certain
extent, this means that we must be ready to embrace the challenges that
will face us – i.e. attainment of research excellence will require
flexibility, creativity and a collaborative spirit. Healthcare will
remain a national priority. In this regard, we will have opportunities
to impact society through both research and practice. Many of
those who have chosen pharmacy as a profession also regard pharmacy as a
vocation – there is a strong sense of giving back to society through
helping and educating people.
So here we are, at a crossroad of sorts. The saying ‘May you live in interesting times’ is purported to be a Chinese Curse! Nevertheless, we do live in interesting times and I for one, embrace the challenges that is ahead. After all, life is to be lived and nothing teaches more than life itself.
