Nighat Ellahi came top of 170 first-year pharmacy students in the Extemporaneous Dispensing module, following written and practical assessments.

The module assesses application of number via pharmaceutical calculations, formulation theory and practical laboratory and dispensing skills via the compounding of medicines.

Chairman of the Bradford branch, Simon Tweddell, presented the cheque for £75 to Nighat.

He said: "The branch has very close links to the School of Pharmacy and is delighted to support the School through the recognition of outstanding academic achievement. Our congratulations go to Nighat and we wish her every success with the remainder of her studies."
