The Association of Physicians of Great Britain and Ireland was founded in 1907 by a group of London-based consultant physicians, many of whom held teaching hospital posts.
With the exception of small gaps during the First and Second World Wars, the Association has met annually at venues throughout Great Britain and Ireland, acting to promote the association’s aims which are to “advance internal medicine” in a manner that “promotes friendship amongst Physicians”.
Meetings are characterised by presentations of the highest quality, and represent many of the best achievements of academic medicine throughout Britain and Ireland.
In 2007, The Association supported M West, of Cardiff School of History and Archaeology, Cardiff University to document its heritage “One Hundred Years of the AoP“
