The theme for AISOP 2025, "Innovate. Translate. Transform 鈥� Pharmacy鈥檚 Role in the Future of Care", guided two days of discussion and exchange. Plenary sessions, oral presentations, and posters demonstrated how discovery science, pharmaceutical research, and clinical practice are shaping the future delivery of healthcare.
Keynote lectures were delivered by:

- Professor Caitriona O鈥橠riscoll (UCC), on advances in drug delivery;
- Dr Brian Cleary (St James鈥檚 Hospital, Dublin), on clinical research and patient-centred care.
A central feature of the conference was the contribution of early-stage researchers, who presented their work in both oral and poster sessions. The standard of research was commended by judges, with the following prizes awarded:
- Best Oral Presentation: Noor Al-Rawi (Queen鈥檚 深夜亚洲福利久久 Belfast) and Jack Wright (Ulster 深夜亚洲福利久久)
