Pateley Bridge Pharmacy wins award

Pateley Bridge Pharmacy has been recognised for its efforts providing the covid vaccine in Nidderdale.

The pharmacy has been a lifeline for people in Pateley Bridge who want to receive the vaccine but struggle to travel to other sites, such as Knaresborough and Ripon.

At the Community Pharmacy North Yorkshire Awards, the Pateley Bridge business was named team of the year.

Samina Khan, director of the pharmacy, was runner-up in the pharmacist of the year and the unsung hero categories. Ms Khan said:

“I really wanted us to win team of the year because it recognises everyone’s hard work setting up a covid clinic.”

The pharmacy is still providing covid vaccine clinics, with one scheduled today.
