Join us on 1 December 2023 at the Royal Society in London or online for a celebration of physiology, physiologists and The Society with our Member Forum, Award Ceremony and President’s Lecture

Member Forum

Our Member Forum will provide you with an opportunity to hear about our recent activities and exciting plans for the future as we embark on the second year of our new strategy. There will be a chance to meet new Trustees of The Society and thank demitting Trustees, and opportunities throughout to ask questions.

Members can attend the Member Forum at the Royal Society in London either in person or online. For those able to attend in person, there will be a chance to catch up with colleagues and friends over refreshments before the event during the networking and poster session. On display will be our 2023 Rob Clarke Award posters, recognising excellence in undergraduate physiology projects.

Award Ceremony and President’s Lecture

Following the Member Forum is the most prestigious event in The Society’s calendar – our 2023 President’s Lecture and Awards Ceremony. This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the triumphs of our community during the Award Ceremony, as well as hear from a notable speaker in our President’s Lecture. This year, we are delighted to announce that Sir Jeremy Farrar, OBE FRCP FRS FMedSci will be giving the President’s Lecture.

Sir Jeremy is a medical researcher who has served as Chief Scientist at the World Health Organization since 2023*. He was previously the director of the Wellcome Trust from 2013 to 2023 and a professor of tropical medicine at the University of Oxford.
