This session will showcase how scientific principles and methods are used in daily practice by pharmacists.

• Define the role of scientific principles—such as pharmacology, pharmaceutics, data science, implementation science, and behavioural science—in advancing pharmacy practice.
• Explore real-world examples of how scientific evidence is applied to optimise patient outcomes, service delivery, and medicines use.
• Identify current opportunities for pharmacists to engage with scientific research and innovation within clinical and practice settings.
• Discuss barriers and enablers to embedding science-led approaches in routine pharmacy practice.
• Reflect on how applying scientific methods can enhance professional development and the future role of pharmacists in multidisciplinary care.
