The LPSA is a dynamic and supportive community tailored specifically for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science students at LJMU. It’s a space where academic life meets social engagement, offering a blend of professional development, fun socials, and unforgettable traditions — all designed to enhance your student experience beyond the lecture theatre.
The Liverpool Pharmaceutical Students Association (LPSA) is a dedicated society for Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science students at Liverpool John Moores University. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where students across all years can connect, unwind, and support one another. Beyond our commitment to fostering friendships and camaraderie, we host a variety of events throughout the academic year that combine socialising with professional growth. From casual get-togethers and charity fundraisers to career workshops and networking opportunities, the LPSA aims to enrich both your personal and academic journey. A highlight of our calendar is the highly anticipated annual Pharmacy Ball — a glamorous night where students and lecturers alike come together to celebrate and create lasting memories. Whether you’re new to the programme or an experienced student, the LPSA is here to ensure your university experience is balanced, engaging, and rewarding.
While we don’t have fixed dates for our events, the LPSA is committed to organising as many socials and activities as possible throughout the year. These range from informal meetups and themed socials to large-scale events like our Pharmacy Ball. To stay in the loop with all our latest events, announcements, and opportunities, make sure to follow us on social media. We welcome everyone interested in pharmacy, so keep an eye out and join us when you can — there’s always something exciting happening!
Being a Pharmacy student involves dedication and hard work, but everyone deserves time to relax, socialise, and build connections outside the classroom. The LPSA offers the perfect balance by providing a welcoming space where you can meet fellow students from all years, share experiences, and enjoy some well-earned downtime. Whether you’re keen on attending casual socials, engaging in charity events, or dressing up for our signature Pharmacy Ball, there’s something for everyone. Plus, these events help bridge the gap between different stages of the course and even foster relationships with lecturers, making your academic journey more enjoyable and supportive. Joining LPSA means becoming part of a vibrant community that celebrates both your professional ambitions and your social life.
Each society is led by a student committee responsible for running the society, organising activities, and representing its members. The committee is chaired by the Society President, with support from other elected roles.
