Set in Glasgow, Elizabeth Roddick, an NHS award-winning pharmacist, gives a very personal account of her life in and out of her community pharmacy. Starting with her father's struggle as a chemist in 1938, she details the rich, humorous and sometimes poignant stories of the interaction with her patients and customers. Illustrating the development of pharmacy services over thirty years, the book also demonstrates Elizabeth's holistic approach to health, both within her pharmacy and public speaking arena.
