(Prescribed Qualifications for
Conditional Registration)
Regulations 2020

In exercise of the powers conferred by section 74(1) of the Pharmacists Registration Act, the Singapore Pharmacy Council, with the approval of the Minister for Health, makes the following Regulations:

Citation and commencement

1. These Regulations are the Pharmacists Registration (Prescribed Qualifications for Conditional Registration) Regulations 2020 and come into operation on 1 August 2020.

Prescribed qualifications

2. For the purposes of section 17(1) of the Act, a prescribed qualification is any qualification set out in the third column of the Schedule conferred by a foreign institution set out in the second column of that Schedule.

Revocation

3. The Pharmacists Registration (Prescribed Qualifications for Conditional Registration) Regulations 2011 (G.N. No. S 503/2011) (called in these Regulations the revoked Regulations) are revoked.

Saving and transitional provision

4.—(1) Despite regulations 2 and 3, the revoked Regulations continue to apply to —

(a)

any person who, before 1 August 2020, has enrolled in a course of study conducted by any of the tertiary institutions specified in the second column of the Schedule to the revoked Regulations that leads to the conferment, on or after 1 August 2020, of a qualification specified in the third column of that Schedule that corresponds to that tertiary institution; and

(b)

any person who, before 1 August 2020 —

(i)	has received a letter of acceptance that is dated before 1 August 2020 from any of the tertiary institutions specified in the second column of the Schedule to the revoked Regulations in relation to a course of study that leads to the conferment of a qualification specified in the third column of that Schedule that corresponds to that tertiary institution; and
(ii)	has deferred the commencement of that course of study to a date on or after 1 August 2020 due to that person’s liability to render full‑time service as a national serviceman,

as if these Regulations had not been made.

(2) To avoid doubt, nothing in regulations 2 and 3 affects any person who, before 1 August 2020, has been conferred a prescribed qualification under the revoked Regulations.

(3) In paragraph (1)(b) —

“full‑time service” and “national serviceman” have the meanings given by section 2 of the Enlistment Act (Cap. 93);

“letter of acceptance” means a letter from a tertiary institution accepting a person’s application and offering that person admission as a candidate for a course of study conducted at the tertiary institution leading to a qualification conferred by that tertiary institution.

Made on 27 July 2020.
