The certificate in dispensing was introduced by the Society of Apothecaries of London so that General Practitioners no longer had to compound their own medicines. This image has a personal connection to one of the curators of this exhibition. After qualifying, Barbara Kathlyn Cook worked in a medical practice where she met a locum doctor. They married. Their elder son is Susan Heydon’s husband John Heydon.
