The Ulster Medical Society

The Ulster Medical Society was formed on 30 April 1862 from the union of the two older societies, the Belfast Medical Society which was founded in 1806, and the Belfast Clinical and Pathological Society which was founded in 1853.
The Ulster Medical Society is a general medical society based in Northern Ireland. Full membership is open to all medical practitioners who are registered or eligible to be registered, student membership is open to medical students, and associate membership is available to other health professionals such as nurses who are registered or eligible to be registered.
The objects of the Society are to improve the care of the sick and to promote and advance health and medical science by widening, improving and developing the education and knowledge of all concerned in medical matters. It was granted charitable status for tax purposes by the Inland Revenue with effect from 30 May 1990. The reference number is CRN 47602.
The Society has published the Ulster Medical Journal since 1932 and has an annual programme of medical lectures.
Through the kindness of the Queen's University of Belfast the Society has its own rooms in the Whitla Medical Building, Lisburn Road, Belfast.
