 Founded in 1956 Medico-Legal Society of Ireland |
Welcome to the Medico-Legal Society of IrelandThe Medico-Legal Society of Ireland was formed in 1956 with the aim of promoting discussion and understanding between members of the medical, legal and associated professions. Continuing medical and scientific developments create new medico-legal issues. New legislation and legal developments affect medical practice. The professions share common interests and problems and it benefits both to seek a greater understanding of each other’s perspectives on common issues. The Society invites speakers to address it on current medico-legal topics. This year the lectures will take the format of webinars so that we can adhere to government guidelines. We hope to plan a social function on the 29th of May 2021. Further details to follow. |
