June COVID-19 Update

Dear colleagues and friends,

The Derby Medical Society Council have taken the decision to postpone the start of the 2020-2021 season until November 2020.This is due to the expectation that restrictions and social distancing related to coronavirus will be in place for some time. The safety of all of our members and guests has been our greatest concern.

The Council are looking at ways in which everyone can participate in Society meetings if restrictions remain in place for high risk groups. We have written a short survey and we would be grateful for as many responses as possible; thank you in advance.

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to get in contact by email at info@derbymedicalsociety.co.uk.

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.
