Walter Conway

Walter Conway (1873-1933) was the distinguished Secretary of the Tredegar Medical Aid Society in South Wales. This society contributed the model which established the British National Health Service.〔
==Biography==
Walter Conway had a deprived childhood. Upon being orphaned at an early age he was placed in Bedwellty Workhouse, where he lived for 2 or 3 years. As he was to describe himself, he was a 'workhouse boy'. For two reasons his stay in the workhouse was useful. From the Master he learnt the lesson 'to do everything well' and while there he acquired a 'great love for books', which he later described as being his best friends.〔Kenneth M. Bryant. 1999. The health of a nation The history and background of the National Health Service with thoughts on its future, 1999, p35〕
Conway was a miner and an enthusiastic member of the Independent Labour Party.〔 In 1915, the ''Medical Aid Society'' which had been formed to develop the older idea of a "Doctor and School Fund" appointed Conway as its secretary. The development of this society's work is attributed to the energy and commitment of Conway who served as its secretary from 1915.〔W.Scandrett, Old Tredegar, Volume 1, p153, ISBN 0-9517057-0-9, 1990〕
It was Conway who became a mentor and teacher to the teenage Aneurin Bevan and he assisted Bevan in ridding himself of a disabling stammer.〔Dai Smith, ‘Bevan, Aneurin (1897–1960)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, Oct 2009 (accessed 17 May 2010 )〕 The Medical Society was already employing doctors under its Medical Supertendant, but it went on to open offices and a dentists and a central surgery.〔
