Round up of South Asian Heritage Month 2023

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

We collaborated with Female Pharmacy Leaders Network, Pharmacy Technicians of Colour, APTUK, British Pharmaceutical Students' Association and The Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists to create some fabulous pharmacy highlights for you to enjoy:  

We hosted our Stories to Tell event in our London office where we came together to celebrate and highlight inspiring role models who make a difference in pharmacy and the community.

Take a look at the South Asian star nominations, where you nominated South Asian individuals who have positively impacted the industry. Check them out on Twitter @rpharms #SAHM #RPSIandD

We have been celebrating SAHM for a couple of years; catch up on previous year's celebrations by watching our social media livestreams on You Tube:

• 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.
