The
Manchester Medical Society was formed in 1834 for the
"cultivation and promotion of medicine and all related sciences". An

working in professions allied to medicine.
The Society consists of 10 Sections:
ANAESTHESIA,
IMAGING,
MEDICINE,
ODONTOLOGY,
PAEDIATRICS,
PATHOLOGY,
PSYCHIATRY,

topics, spanning all medical disciplines to be addressed in our annual programme of
events.

SOCIETY MEETINGS
The Manchester Medical Society in its annual
programme events
also hosts meetings in addition to the lectures organised by
individual Sections.
Highlights
of meetings organised by the Society include the
Telford Memorial Lecture,
the
Hon Dorothy Wedgwood OBE Annual Christmas Lecture for Young People, the
annual joint meetings
with the Liverpool Medical
Institution and the
John F Wilkinson Memorial
Lecture.
The Society meetings are usually followed by an informal dinner held at either
Chancellors Conference Centre, the University, the Christie Bistro
or restaurants throughout the region. The
Society has a long tradition of social functions and dinners and we
encourage our members to take advantage of the opportunity to relax with
colleagues and new found friends! |
