The Physiological Society’s international support schemes – Ole Petersen (p.7)

The Physiological Society’s Memorandum of Association states that the objects for which The Society is established are: ‘to promote for the benefit of the public the advancement of Physiology, and facilitate the intercourse of Physiologists, both at home and abroad…’ The perspective of our Founding Fathers was therefore international justifying the name of our Society not being specifically associated with the UK.
