Tribute
Fielden In a tribute to the late Hubert Fielden (PJ,
23 October, p627), John Campbell writes:
Hubert Fielden, born and reared
in Hebden Bridge,
was a gifted
all-rounder, being captain of both football and cricket teams at his grammar
school while remaining highly successful academically. Proud of his Yorkshire
background, he insisted his roots made him down to earth and “do things
without a fuss”. This and a strongly compassionate nature made him ideally
suited to community pharmacy, which he served with devotion.
Having registered in 1940 he was, like many of his generation, immediately conscripted
into the army, serving the entire duration with the Royal Army Medical Corps
in India, where he helped establish the British Military Hospital in Bangalore.
Upon demobilisation he married Alice Greenwood and their daughter Patricia was
born a year later, during which time he worked for Timothy Whites, before crossing
the great cultural Pennine barrier to work in Manchester, finally settling in
Warrington in 1950 where he worked with the National
Co-operative Chemists until his retirement in 1981.
He was an iconic figure when I joined him as a preregistration trainee in 1976.
His intellect quickly became evident in the way he taught me every facet of pharmacy,
including business management, with such lucidity and simplicity that no topic
was ever vague or forgotten. His style was to show his pupils how a task was
done then allow them to attempt it themselves. Mistakes were never a cause of
rebuke, rather they were described as “gaining experience” and “part
of the learning process”. This, and his fatherly guidance, gave me the
knowledge, understanding and confidence to practise pharmacy for the benefit
of the patients we served.
Every year until his retirement in 1981 this quiet, unassuming man fostered five
further preregistration trainees who are all practising pharmacy in the manner
he taught them.
Having had 23 years of retirement, he succumbed to ill health and died peacefully
on 15 September. Many of those who knew him mourn his passing but, while his
protégés are practising, pharmacy will continue to enjoy the influence
of Hubert Fielden.
