MedSoc Conference: Sponsorship & Exhibition
About the Conference
The BSA Medical Sociology Group Annual Conference is always an essential networking event for Medical Sociology academics and professionals. The group celebrates its 42nd Anniversary conference in 2010 and interest in the field of Medical Sociology is increasing. The conference programme includes research papers from all areas of study within the field of medicine, health and illness. High profile plenary speakers have been selected for the 2010 conference: Professor Anne Rogers (University of Manchester) and Carol May (Newcastle University). The conference also includes a number of symposia focusing on topical and current issues but also celebrating international links with a Canadian symposium. With a broad and varied programme including symposia, poster presentations and social events we hope to continue to host the leading UK event for medical sociologists.
Over 240 papers were submitted to the 2009 conference, which is much higher than previous BSA Medical Sociology Conferences, and attendance is expected to be approximately 300 delegates this year. Delegates attending the BSA Medical Sociology Group Annual Conference include Sociology and Medicine academics, and in addition to these, the conference always attracts health professionals such as, nurses, doctors, medical social workers and community health workers and postgraduates from across both the UK and internationally.
It provides a rare opportunity for publishers with titles in health and illness to bring lists to the attention of important sections of the target community. We welcome a wide range of books in the sociology of health and illness, politics of health care and health policy, women’s health, health and ethnicity, reproduction, prevention, health education and promotion, disability, genetics, ageing, the social history of medicine and specific health problems such as HIV/AIDS.
