Meetings

The Society's meetings are usually held on the first Thursday of each month. As has been the tradition since 1847, speakers from all walks of life are invited to address the Society. The meetings are held in the Education Centre in the new Audrey Emerton Building on the Royal Sussex County Hospital site or in the Brighton and Sussex Medical School at the University of Sussex at Falmer. Maps for both venues are available. The Society is grateful to the Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust for providing us with office space and a meeting venue.
