Doctor Neville Silverston graduated from University of Manchester in 1954 and, after doing his house jobs in industrial Lancashire and a two year spell in the USA, he entered single handed rural practice in Bottisham. Being on call 24 hours a day and uncontactable when out on his rounds prompted him to develop a wide area pocket pager - the first in the UK. In 1968, he set up a company, Cambridge Medical Answering Services Limited with a control room manned by nurses. This communication service led to his setting up the Mid-Anglia GP Accident Service (MAGPAS) in 1971 to turn doctors out to serious road accidents in Cambridgeshire. For this he was awarded the MBE. In 1974 he helped set up the Vocational Training Scheme for General Practice at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge for which he was appointed a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners. He is currently a Fellow of Anglia Ruskin University and a Senior Member of Wolfson College, Cambridge.
