Welcome to the Manchester Medical Society website!
1834-2009 Celebrating 175 Years

The Manchester Medical Society was formed in 1834 for the "cultivation and promotion of medicine and all related sciences". An aim continued today through a series of scientific meetings and symposia focused on Continual Professional Development (CPD)for medical professionals and for those working in professions allied to medicine.  

The Society consists of 10 Sections: Anaesthesia, Imaging, Medicine, Odontology, Paediatrics, Pathology, Psychiatry, Public Health Forum, Primary Care, and Surgery. Meetings are hosted by individual Sections and the Society allowing a range of topics, spanning all medical disciplines to be addressed in our annual programme of events.

The theme of this year's annual joint meeting with the Royal Society of Medicine was "What every doctor needs to know about medically unexplained symptoms" and the incoming President of the Society, Professor Francis Creed gave his Presidential Address "Can we now explain medically unexplained symptoms".

 Professor J C Brocklehurst CBE (centre) elected Honorary Fellow of the Society in 2002 with Professor J F W Deakin (President 2001/2) and Dr A K Banerjee CBE (President 2002/3).

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!
