A warm welcome from Dr Eman Shamsaee

President of the Hull Medical Society 2025-2026

Hello and welcome! We’re so glad you’ve found your way to the Hull Medical Society—a local charity dedicated to advancing medical science, health, and wellbeing through thought-provoking lectures, professional development opportunities, and supportive networking events.


Our mission is to bring together a vibrant community of medical students, doctors, allied healthcare professionals, and support staff from across the region. Whether you’re passionate about education, interested in holistic healthcare, or just looking to connect with like-minded people, there’s a place for you here.


This year, I've curated a programme that focuses on themes that impact everyone working in or alongside healthcare—including holistic medicine, creative arts in health, health justice, community initiatives, food as medicine, comedy, global health, and more. We want these talks to spark ideas, start conversations, and support your wellbeing - both personally and professionally.


Membership is free for students and resident doctors, and everyone is warmly welcome to join us at our events. Please do come along, say hello, and get involved. Your feedback, ideas, and energy help shape the future of our society - and I love meeting new faces!


Here’s to learning, connecting, and inspiring change - together.

What Our Members Say

“I am very grateful to Hull Medical Society for supporting my attendance at the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery 2019 meeting and allowing me to present my experience and research at the April meeting. 

It is a fantastic initiative which encourages students to attend national conferences and meetings in order to develop their portfolio and expand their views and knowledge."

“Hull Medical Society have supported me so I could run a medical education project for students.

They have welcomed medical and physician associate students, providing a platform for them to give presentations at their meetings. 

I am very grateful for their support and look forward to working with them as a junior doctor.”

Dr Alexandra Abel

Resident Doctor

"Membership of the medical society has made it easier for me to work more effectively through better relationships with colleagues who are there for me when I am not sure how to manage a particular problem. 

 Usually if one of my colleagues can’t help directly they will know the best person to approach. Meeting socially builds trust and makes it easier to approach colleagues for advice.”

Dr Patrick Naughton-Doe

GP, Past Treasurer & Honorary Secretary of  Hull Medical Society (2024-2025)
