From wikipedia:-
"Sir Charles Hastings (11 January 1794 – 30 July 1866) was a medical surgeon and a founder of the British Medical Association, the BMA, originally Provincial Medical and Surgical Association on 19 July 1832.[1][2][3]
He was also a notable lifelong philanthropist, investing his own money in new housing designed to improve public health and founding a natural history museum.
Hastings had a close relationship with his home city, Worcester, and although he could have developed an interesting, challenging and rewarding medical career anywhere including London or Edinburgh, he started his career in the locality where he had grown up."
