The Bradford College Pharmacy team gained national recognition recently after winning a prestigious industry award.

The ‘Excellence in Education & Development Award’ was presented to the College at The Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK (APTUK) Annual Pharmacy Awards. The gala awards dinner was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham.

The team work together to transform lives to create a better future for all through education and training. We continue to strive for excellence whilst making meaningful contributions nationally in the field of pharmacy.”
