Umesh Patel MBE takes a bow from University of Sunderland board

After serving a maximum of nine years on the Governing Body of University of Sunderland, outgoing pharmacist Umesh Patel was recently felicitated with a dinner in his honour. In a message to Asian Voice he said, ' When I first started my course in pharmacy, I had never dreamed of becoming a Governor and receiving an honorary doctorate of science for my services to pharmacy from an institute which truly provides life-changing opportunities to so many graduates. It was a great honour to be part of this world-class university.'
