BASEM Board

In 1953, a group of doctors, mostly those who were acting as medical advisers to the Governing Bodies of sport, with the addition of some others interested in medical aspects of sport, met at the Westminster Hospital in London at the instigation of Sir Adolphe Abrahams and Sir Arthur Porritt, and formed the British Association of Sport and Medicine. During its first year, there was a total membership of some seventy doctors, and several meetings were held in London. The entire admini- stration of the Association was at this time carried out by Dr.W.S.Tegner, the Hon. Secretary/Treasurer, Sir Adolphe Abrahams was founder President, which office he held until the time of his death in the winter of 1967. Sir Arthur Porritt, as Chairman, played a most active part in the growth of the Association until leaving Britain in 1967.
