Cambridge Medical Society
The Society was founded in 1880 and its membership is open to anyone who is medically qualified. Meetings are held approximately once a month from September to June. The content of the meetings varies from purely scientific to purely social but most evenings are a mixture of both with a speaker and dinner.
Meetings start at 7.00pm generally ending by 9.30pm and are held in beautiful College surroundings in Cambridge and at Madingley Hall. For membership and all other information, please contact us via our contact form.

Madingley Hall dinner and talk
We met again, on 11th April, at Madingley Hall for dinner and a talk. We were joined by Nick Barnes and his wife Jo, and Nick gave a talk entitled ‘Cambridge, the Nobel prize and Medicine’. Nick is a member of the Cambridge Medical Society and former paediatric consultant at Addenbrooke’s
Hospital, and for many of us he was the authoritative and accessible consultant, to discuss and refer paediatric patients to, particularly as a GP. He wrote the go to book on paediatrics with Cliff Roberton in the 1980s – the Amazon review states “The writers are obviously extraordinarily well read in the relevant original papers; unlike many learned authors, they have a good nose for the relevant facts and a sure sense of proportion. Their tone of voice, while authoritative, is not provokingly dogmatic and does not challenge accepted truth without justification.”
