Bath celebrates its centenary

More than 700 former students, members of staff and other guests took part in celebrations to mark 100 years of pharmacy research and education in Bath earlier this month.

Richard Guy, head of the department of pharmacy and pharmacology, said: “Pharmacy in Bath has come a long way since the early days as a training college at the start of the 20th century. We remain at the forefront of pharmacist training and are pioneering the courses that give pharmacists the skills they need in a rapidly modernising health service to become independent prescribers.”

As part of the celebrations, the University’s chancellor, Lord Tugendhat, launched an appeal to create a permanently endowed scholarship fund for the department to ensure it continues to attract bright students, regardless of their financial background.
