Welcome to the AFMS!

Annual Conference

The Society has one main meeting annually which is held jointly with the Association Médicale Franco-Britannique.

These meetings take place towards the end of September and alternate between France and the UK.

The annual conference is always held in an area of cultural and gastronomic interest. This allows for a full and fun social programme to complement our scientific programme which usually features local speakers from the area of interest.

Our next meeting will be in the capital of the Scottish Highlands (Inverness) and will take place between 11th-14th October 2023.

Conference Programme

If you would like to present at conference, please get in touch to submit a proposal.

We are keen to support presentations by junior doctors and medical students.

We are graciously supported by the James Tudor Foundation in offering a prize to the best student presentation at our annual conference. Entries are open to medical students from the British Isles and France. Students who are invited to present are offered support with travel and accommodation.

Our 37th Annual Conference was held in Strasbourg, France and hosted by our sister organisation AMFB. Check out the Gallery pages for Strasbourg.
