Peripheralia: Central Relief

  • Chris Ellis University of United Arab Emirates

Abstract

In the 1960s, as a medical student in London, I occasionally worked as a telephonist for one of the first GP deputizing services. The small offices were above a Greek restaurant in Soho and the agency was called Central Relief. There were usually two medical students manning three phones and a large map of London on the wall in front of us. We covered most of Metropolitan London.
