2016 - 2017 143rd Session
President Dr Victor Barley.
I was an Oncologist in Bristol for 25 years and have been a parish priest for the last 14 years, and both careers have influenced my choice of topics. How can we enable people with cancer and other medical problems to live a fuller life, moreover could “Living Well” be beneficial to everyone, even if we are currently enjoying good health?
A few meetings are held jointly with related societies and our Summer Party will be in the lovely setting of Ham Green House and Gardens, formerly the home of Dr Richard Bright, subsequently part of Ham Green Hospital, and now the National Centre for Penny Brohn UK, which has pioneered holistic care, and is supporting people affected by cancer and providing Living Well courses.
As last year, before each lecture we will have a short presentation by Medical or Dental students of projects they have prepared during the course of their studies. Please encourage your students to come to the meetings, they are eligible for discounts on membership and meals.
