Curtain goes up at Nottingham school

The refurbished pharmacy school at the University of Nottingham was officially opened by Marshall Davies, President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, this week.

Mr Davies congratulated the school’s staff on their research achievements and their standard of teaching. He said: “Pharmacy higher education does not come cheap. The Royal Pharmaceutical Society will lobby for improvements, not cuts, in the unit of resource, to see the capital investment here fully realise its potential.

“Schools of pharmacy have a crucial role to play in preparing undergraduates, and in creating a mindset for a working life of constant evolution and change. These new facilities provide the physical resources for this to be achieved.”

Guests at the opening of the school tested their knowledge of pharmacy law and ethics using the computer aided learning facilities within the pharmacy practice laboratory, which was opened last year. Professor Martyn Davies, head of the pharmacy school, described the laboratory as unique and said it represented a major investment.
