The Society

In November 2002 a new international society was set up to provide a forum for the disparate groups involved in medical screening. The Medical Screening Society will provide a forum for people interested in screening to discuss their ideas and problems, to debate controversial topics in a friendly and constructive way, and to share their experiences. The Journal of Medical Screening will be the journal of the Society.

The Society will:

Set up working groups to look at problems and controversies in medical screening.

Produce scientific reports that would be published in the Journal of Medical Screening.

Hold periodic scientific meetings on screening.

Have a page in each issue of the Journal of Medical Screening
