The Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) is a registered charity and membership organisation. ​Our vision is better healthcare for better lives. By sharing learning and supporting innovation, our goal is to be the leading provider of continuing learning to healthcare professionals.

We deliver multidisciplinary, specialist and general education, as well as professional development, drawing on the support of leading experts in over 50 specialist areas of medicine. We have a global network of 20,000 members. Bringing together healthcare professionals across specialties, we offer a range of membership options for every career stage, from students to retirement.

Our learning resources span a wide collection of books, journals, electronic journals and online medical databases. We are home to one of the finest physical and digital medical libraries in the world. We connect those involved and interested in healthcare and, by leveraging expertise from across the RSM, we support, help and inspire the innovators developing the medical products and services of tomorrow.

The RSM is a Royal Charter body registered with the Privy Council, and our official Patron is His Majesty King Charles III.

At the RSM we have a section dedicated to running a full calendar of educational events aimed at trainees. These events cover a wide variety of disciplines and provide trainees with the opportunity to learn and develop their future career. Additionally, we have a total of 55 sections which run events throughout the year, of which many are also relevant to trainees and facilitate networking with other professionals in different medical fields.
