WOWI, indeed. You won't look at prescriptions in same way again. Recommend heading to Euston Square to see new exhibition celebrating 20 years of Pharmacopoeia @30EustonSquare @rcgp @aRtCGP goo.gl/iFziFb
Heritage Committee Chair Colin Hunter pays tributes to Sharon Messenger, RCGP archivist, and Kathy Tilley, architect of @30EustonSquare for their work putting #WOWI together
#WOWI explores the balance of celebrating how far we have come in medicine, with questions of over-medicalisation says @DoctorMayur
.@DoctorMayur kicks things off at the launch of #WOWI - new, free exhibition @30EustonSquare made largely of textiles, pills and pill cases

Small beautiful exhibition at @rcgp on migrant doctors from South Asia, and their contribution to primary care and the NHS. Thank you for paving the way for the next generation. The legacy lives on! #NHS70 @NHSMillion @visionary_medic @bmj_latest @bbcasiannetwork @NHSEngland
South Asian doctors were architects of today’s #NHS - read @SHIVPANDE7’s interview with @htTweets hindustantimes.com/world-new… #NHS70
Listen back to @DoctorMayur and @SHIVPANDE7 speaking w Julian Simpson to @bbcasiannetwork yesterday about Migrants Who Made the NHS - showing @30EustonSquare now. Why not visit this Bank Holiday weekend? bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b0gf8…
.@SHIVPANDE7, now retired, says the thing he misses most is his patients - and when he sees them, they say they miss him. He also misses the teamwork element of general practice @bbcasiannetwork
.@DoctorMayur says we’d encouraged any young people who want to be doctors to do so, particularly in general practice. There is much more support now, such as by @RCGP, than there has been previously @bbcasiannetwork. We need more GPs!
.@SHIVPANDE7 has two children who are now practising GPs in the NHS, but another son did not want a medical career as he saw the intense pressures @bbcasiannetwork
We’re incredibly grateful for South Asian doctors who came to work in the NHS...ultimately we need more GPs in the NHS to keep the service going @DoctorMayur @bbcasiannetwork
.@DoctorMayur the story of our exhibition is continuing, we now have many 2nd generation GPs - the children of South Asian doctors who came in the 1940s-1980s @bbcasiannetwork
.@SHIVPANDE7 on @bbcasiannetwork - I was not offered the jobs I might have been offered in India. There was discrimination in the 70s but also lack of understanding of mutual training
.@SHIVPANDE7 recounts his experience as a South Asian doctor who arrived in the UK in the 70s...a specialist but who started working in general practice @bbcasiannetwork. Read more about his story @30EustonSquare, Migrants Who Made the NHS exhibition until December
