British Medical Association: Please provide first and last names of
those physicians who held positions of 1)President and 2) Chairman of
Council from 1955 to 1980 at BMA.  Thank you very much.

I started with Presidents and this is as far as I got. Nothing at the
BMA website. Doesn't appear to even be any partial lists.

Dr Peter Banks
In 1972, Dr. Banks became president-elect of the Canadian Medical
Association and also held, in tandem, the position of president of the
British Medical Association.
