The British Society for the History of Pharmacy (BSHP) is an organisation in the United Kingdom devoted to the history of pharmacy.[1] It was established in 1967,[2] although its roots date to 1952, when the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society established a history of pharmacy committee. The society has published a journal, Pharmaceutical Historian, from the beginning. Since 2017[3] it has been issued by BSHP on behalf of the International Society for the History of Pharmacy.[4] From its foundation, BSHP has been keen to encourage the study of pharmacy history amongst students. This advocacy role has included providing lecturers for history courses at Schools of Pharmacy.[5]
The organisation is affiliated with the International Society for the History of Pharmacy and the British Society for the History of Medicine. Its president is Chris Duffin.
