As Sir William Osler eloquently stated, “No human being is constituted to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth; and even the best must be content with fragments, with partial glimpses, never the full fruition.” These words, spoken over a century ago, still resonate with us today.

Established in 1907 by Sir William Osler himself, the Association of Physicians remains dedicated to advancing medicine while fostering camaraderie among physicians. We recently concluded a remarkable meeting in Liverpool, where the talks and scientific advancements showcased were truly exemplary. The event not only renewed old friendships but also forged new connections and collaborations.

I firmly believe that the Association of Physicians continues to play a vital role in modern medicine. Our mission extends beyond sharing advances that improve patient care; we are actively driving the objectives of Translational Medicine. Through our conferences, webinars, collaborations with esteemed learned societies, and the Quarterly Journal of Medicine, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the field.

In recent years, the Association has rightly focused on supporting early career researchers, providing grants, travel bursaries, and prizes. We recognize that these aspiring individuals will shape the future of Translational Medicine as its leaders.

We invite you to join the growing family of Translational Medicine by becoming a member of the Association of Physicians. Together, we can make a lasting difference. Details on how to join can be found on our website.

Welcome aboard, and let us embark on this transformative journey together.

Kindest regards
