Secretaries and chief executives of the British Dental Association (1879-2020) - part 1: the early years

摘要

Part 1 examines the early rise of the British Dental Association from its origins in 1879. With its gradual expansion came a need for secretaries to carry forward its aims and objectives. In these early days, the work was carried out by non-paid members of the association on a part-time basis. Only in 1920 was a paid dental secretary appointed. The dental lives of all the people who served the association in that era are examined.
