Annual Summer Conference

AFMS-AMFB Annual Conference

Manchester Booking Available May 2025

The Society has a main meeting annually which is held jointly with the Association Médicale Franco-Britannique. These meetings take place over a long weekend, normally at the end of September / start of October. The locations alternate between France and the UK.

The annual conference is always held in an area of cultural and gastronomic interest, allowing for a full and fun social programme as well as the scientific programme. Partners are welcomed at these events and a separate social programme is organised, during the scientific presentations, for these not medically minded.

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 Hertford British Charitable Fund 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.
