My First Few Weeks at Huddersfield - Mohammed Allah-Ditta

"I enrolled onto the Pharmacy course at Huddersfield as a mature entrant having previously graduated with a BSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Huddersfield. I decided to enrol at Huddersfield Uni. I am exceptionally privileged to be on such a course as it concentrates on the practical, professional and academic areas of pharmaceutical practice.

"During the induction period the pharmacy team welcomed us with courtesy and anticipation which instilled in us a sense of belonging and being part of an acclaimed group of individuals. The pharmacy team inspired in us the importance of being professional representatives of the School of Pharmacy and the profession as a whole.

"From the outset stress has been put upon CPD, key skills, pharmaceutical knowledge which is the bedrock of pharmacy. The modules are interlinked so that each module is complementary to one another and gives a comprehensive rounded experience. As I work in a pharmacy I have been able to demonstrate and put into practice the skills that I have thus far acquired which have been acknowledged by the pharmacists at work who between them have a wealth of diverse experience.

"I feel that the pharmacy course at Huddersfield has been an inspiration to me and I hope that this will continue."

Idris Younis, the Clinical governance director at Greenhead Pharmacy where Mohammed works commented: "Since staring the pharmacy course at the University of Huddersfield, Mohammed has improved much. He is more consciously aware of the role of a pharmacist and the respective implications and responsibilities the role demands.

"He is making a concerted effort at work in applying what he is learning, and is demonstrating the practical nature of the pharmacy course at the University of Huddersfield.”
