  • Summary

  • Christmas in the Pharmacy

    In this festive 27th episode of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Pharma Scene podcast, we welcome back the RPS Chief Scientist, Professor Parastou Donyai.

    She talks to our Museum Officer, Catherine Walker, for a look at how sweets have traditionally been a part of community pharmacy. Join them as they take a mostly light-hearted look back at Christmas confectionery in Victorian times!

    You'll meet Alfred Bird: pharmacist and egg-free custard inventor, as well as his allergic wife, Elizabeth. And you'll tremble (maybe) at the terrible tale of the Bradford Sweet Poisonings! Plus, for afters, we have a couple of historical festive recipes that have now - inexplicably! - gone out of fashion.
