In June 2019, we were really pleased to announce that our Chairman, Dr Bharat Shah was honoured in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List, receiving his CBE for ‘services to business, economic growth, exporting, the independent pharmacy sector and philanthropy.’
This follows a long and a distinguished career in the pharmacy profession for Dr Shah, CBE, who is a passionate advocate for independent community pharmacy, helping the sector raise standards and campaigning for the profession to become an integral part of the enlarged NHS.
Dr Shah, CBE is at the forefront of a Sigma sponsored PhD project, working in conjunction with Bath University, to develop a strategy to ‘inform the future of community pharmacy in the UK’. This academic project aims to define a clear vision for pharmacy up to the year 2025.
