The objective of the Society is to advance knowledge for population health.

The term “social medicine” covers a very broad range of subjects including health, public health, health policy, disease prevention, epidemiology, sociology, psychology, economics, medicine, the medical and health needs of society, healthcare and health services.

Membership of the Society is open to anyone whose work is consistent with this objective.

We have a main committee, plus other committees representing Early Career Researchers (ECRs), Middle Career Researchers (MCRs) and Senior Career Researchers (SCRs). Each committee focuses particularly on the issues relevant to that career stage.

“I’ve really liked working with someone in my own field, but not my own institution. In my own institution we are paired with people outwith our department, which is quite a different experience.”

“I appreciated the balance of keynote topic areas, particularly the review on child poverty and health inequality. I feel it is important to be reminded of the stark impact of health inequalities on vulnerable groups, and our responsibility as researchers to communicate findings, and work to ensure that such outcomes do not persist.”
