SSHM Mar 24.jpg

Three ordinary meetings are held each year. These take place on Saturdays with the autumn meeting in Edinburgh, the spring meeting in Glasgow and the summer meeting at a chosen venue elsewhere in Scotland. In addition an annual lecture and dinner in honour of Dr Haldane Tait, a former President and long-serving Secretary to the Society, is held in the summer, usually in Edinburgh.
Meetings are social as well as academic events starting with lunch followed by two or more papers on various aspects of medical history. Guests are very welcome.

 Please see the individual meeting links for details of how to book your place. Payment is currently by bank transfer or cheque but we hope to set up online booking in the near future.
