Biographical history

Dr. Donald Paterson M.B. (Edin.), M.R.C.P. (London) was born in Canada in 1890. As a young man he went to Edinburgh to study medicine. After qualifying, he moved to London, where worked at the renowned Great Ormond Street and Westminster Hospitals. He became a leading figure in British Paediatrics and was instrumental in founding the British Paediatric Association in 1928. He authored numerous studies on childhood sickness which were published in medical journals around the world. In 1946 he founded the Health Care Centre for Children in Vancouver, B.C. In 1954, while working as a consulting Paediatrician for the Handicapped Children’s Registry in British Columbia, he convened a meeting for all persons who were interested in the advancement of mentally retarded children. This led to the creation the Association of the Retarded Children of BC (now known as the British Columbia Association for Community Living). Dr. Paterson died in 1968.
