The workplace provides a key opportunity to promote public health for employees, and through them, the wider community. Professor Dame Carol Black will speak on this theme at the Symposium being organised by the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine in London on 1st October 2015 to mark the 90th Anniversary of its first official journal, the Postgraduate Medical Journal.
Speakers on the day will comment on what medicine was like in the 1920s, current progress in their field, and what is in prospect over the next 90 years.
Other speakers will include FPM Fellows Professor Munir Pirmohamed who will discuss Progress in Personalised Medicine and Professor Peter Barnes FRS, who will speak on Advances in Respiratory Medicine.
The Postgraduate Medical Journal
publishes topical reviews, commentaries and original papers on themes
across the medical spectrum. It provides continuing
professional development for all doctors, from those in training, to
their teachers, and active clinicians,
by publishing papers on a wide
range of topics relevant to clinical practice.
Papers published in PMJ describe current practice and new developments in all branches of medicine; describe relevance and impact of translational research on clinical practice; provide background relevant to examinations; and papers on medical education and medical education research.
The FPM is a British non-profit organisation founded in the autumn of 1919 as a merger of the Fellowship of Medicine and the Postgraduate Medical Association, with Sir William Osler as its first president. Its initial aims were the development of educational programmes in all branches of postgraduate medicine.
The FPM now organises clinical and research meetings and publishes two journals. The FPM has since 1925 published the international journal, the Postgraduate Medical Journal. In 2012 the Fellowship launched a new international journal, Health Policy and Technology, published on the Fellowship's behalf by Elsevier.
