3D Printing: Enabling the Future of Healthcare 

Hosted by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and
the Academy of Pharmaceutical Sciences

Thursday 3 July 2025, 10.30am - 6.30pm

Royal Pharmaceutical Society,  London, E1W 1AW 

3D printing will give pharmacists brand-new tools for creating and dispensing pharmaceuticals, like nothing we’ve seen before. So how does 3D printing work, and what will it mean for you and your patients? 

Join us at this day-long seminar alongside a line-up of expert speakers, including keynote speaker Professor Abdul Basit, for a look into the future of pharmacy.

View our full list of speakers here.


You’ll discover real-world examples of 3D printing in pharmaceuticals, from personalised medicine and on-demand drug manufacturing to innovative dosage forms that promise to reshape the industry.

We’ll discuss and examine the implementation of 3D printing in routine pharmacy practice: what are the technical limitations of 3D printing? Where are the gaps in research? And is 3D printing scalable?

Throughout the day we’ll cover essential regulatory considerations and look at emerging guidelines for integrating 3D printing technology into clinical and industrial settings.

We’ll look at innovative research in the field, giving you the opportunity to showcase your research and explore that of your peers in our Poster Zone – find out more below.

And finally, we’ll look into developing a roadmap for future implementation, proposing strategies to accelerate 3D printing adoption while ensuring safety and compliance with MHRA regulations.
