Philip Bosworth (Bos) was a general practitioner, school doctor at Bryanston School and a keen campanologist. Born in Market Harborough, Leicestershire on 11 October 1948, he initially studied chemistry at Imperial College London after a gap year spent in Norfolk. In 1971 he enrolled at Bristol University to study medicine. He moved to Truro nine years later and passed the fellowship of the college in 1981. After four years in Cornwall he decided that hospital medicine was not for him and he took up a partnership in a general practice in Blandford Forum, Dorset. The family moved first to Pimperne and then, in 1987, to Stourpaine. Three years later in 1990 he joined the staff of Branston School as school doctor. Popular both with pupils and colleagues, he very much enjoyed this role and participated widely in the life of the school, especially on the music scene. He served on the council of the Medical Officers of Schools Association and was about to serve as its president at the time of his unexpected demise. He learnt bell ringing from his father as a teenager and rang his first peal when he was fifteen. While he was studying in London he continued the activity with enthusiasm and his time at Imperial was his most active peal ringing period. He became master of the University of London society from 1969 to 1970. On moving to Bristol he joined the University of Bristol Society of Change Ringers where he met his wife Sue, whom he married in 1971. On their move to Dorset he revived a local band, rejuvenated the Dorset Ringing Festival and was responsible for training many new ringers. A convivial and entertaining man known for his eccentric bow ties, he and his family hosted numerous local social events in the ringing community. He died suddenly after a heart attack at his home on 30 November 2008, aged 60. His wife, Sue and children Charlie, Alice and Will (born 1987) survived him.
