Introduction

The Ulster Society for Internal Medicine is a section of medicine of the Ulster Medical Society. It was founded in 1968 so that consultants in general (internal) medicine in Northern Ireland could meet and discuss professional matters.

The Society holds two meetings a year, one in Belfast in the autumn and one elsewhere in Northern Ireland in the spring.

Meetings

Submissions

We welcome trainees and consultants to submit presentations relating to original research, audits, or reviews of interesting cases from the broad family of general medicine and its specialties.
