Round up of South Asian Heritage Month 2022

Did you catch our celebrations for South Asian Heritage Month, which explores the history and identity of British South Asians?

We collaborated with Pharmacy Technicians of Colour, APTUK, Boots and others to create some fabulous pharmacy highlights for you to enjoy:  

Take a look at our profiles of South Asian pharmacy professionals sharing what they value about their heritage and culture on Twitter #SAHMPharm.

Watch our social media livestreams which went out across You Tube, Linkedin and Facebook and Twitter: 

• We were joined by Sureena Speaks, Menpowerment and Sachin Patel from Boots to talk about mental health in South Asian communities
• Pharmacy Technicians of Colour led a brilliant discussion on Me and My South Asian Heritage
• The Female Pharmacy Leaders Network highlighted Intersectionality from a South Asian female perspective

Read about how Kanika Girdhar moved from Canada to study pharmacy in the UK and catch up with a short history of tea from our Museum. You can also take another look at blogs from Gurinder Singh who explores the responsibility being placed on a young South Asian living within British culture, and Shaheen Bhatia’s experiences of life in pharmacy from arriving in the UK aged 7.

Finally, catch up with our quiz on South Asian life on Twitter @rpharms #SAHMPharm
