History of the Pharmacy Department at Whipps Cross University Hospital 1903-1970s

摘要

The early part of this history was researched from the records held at Waltham Forest Archive and Newham Archive. The latter was a particularly fruitful source, since it includes the Minutes of the West Ham Board of Guardians who managed the hospital from 1903 until 1930, and also the Minutes of the County Borough of West Ham, which managed the hospital from 1930 until the advent of the National Health Service in 1948. Much of the history comes from the author's own memories.
