Christopher Gardner-Thorpe - A Notice of Appreciation
Dr Christopher Gardner-Thorpe MD FRCP FRCPE FACP
It is with great sadness that the trustees of the Devon & Exeter Medical Heritage Trust record the death of Dr Christopher Gardner-Thorpe, retired Consultant Neurologist, founder-trustee of this charity, and a much-valued colleague and friend. Christopher ensured that the collection of more than 12,000 medical artefacts acquired since the foundation of the Devon & Exeter Medical Society in 1780 remained intact. His fellow trustees extend their deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
