The cultivation and promotion of all branches of medicine and of all related sciences through a comprehensive programme of scientific meetings and seminars which coincide with the academic year.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £18,396 for the year, driven by running costs exceeding income, although this deficit was smaller than the previous year's unsustainable level. Per the trustees' report, total charity funds remain at £561,284, which is considered sufficient for functional operability despite the ongoing challenge that membership fees do not cover running costs.
What the accounts disclose
“Income derives principally from two sources—subscription income and income from the dividends on investments.” — page 15
“It is important that the Society maintains reserves as a third of the income to run the Society comes from the investment income and without it, subscription fees for Fellows and Full Members would have to be greatly increased.” — page 15
“The Council considers the Catherine Chisholm Lecture Fund to be a connected charity. The principal contact address and administration are located at the offices of the Manchester Medical Society.” — page 21
