Event Postponement (COVID-19)

We are sorry to announce that the 25th March meeting will be postponed due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 risk: in line with social distancing, we thought it wise to avoid non-essential meetings for the time being. We hope to rearrange Dr Robert Hunter’s talk on ‘The Passion of Christ: A Forensic Medical Perspective’ for later in the year.

Welcome to Derby Medical Society!

Welcome to the Derby Medical Society website. The society was founded in 1862 for the purpose of bringing together medical practitioners from the many diverse branches of medicine to discuss the medical science of the day and to present and discuss cases of interest to its members.

To this day, the society maintains the spirit and motivation of its founders through the presentation of a yearly lecture series featuring keynote speakers from all walks of medicine, many of whom have world renowned reputations in their field. Additionally, the society has a proud tradition of supporting the medical community through its long standing association with the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund and through the provision of bursaries and awards for medical students and trainees.
