Welcome to the Society for Social Medicine & Population Health

The Society for Social Medicine and Population Health is a UK and Ireland based society devoted to the study of health in its widest sense.

Founded in 1956, our Society aims to promote the development of scientific knowledge in public health and social medicine. In line with our objectives, the Society holds an annual conference, coordinates a mentoring scheme, and organises other events throughout the year with a scientific meeting and additional other scientific meetings each year which focus on particular themes. Society membership is open to anyone whose work is consistent with our aims.

“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.”
