MedSoc Annual Conference Theme

This year's conference will focus on the streams below but also examine our international links with Australia, exploring and comparing developments within Medical Sociology.

Building on the success of last year's conference, we will again be holding a number of specialist symposia during the conference.  This is an oppportunity for speakers and participants to engage in greater depth with a particular topic, theme or sets of questions.  This year we have four symposia.

• Australian Sociology Panel - Organised by Alan Petersen, Monash University, Australia
