Links to other Events pages on the Internet
Many other health related events are not featured because they are not specifically related to international health. If you are interested in attending other courses or conferences then some of the following links may be worth visiting.
The British Medical Association Conferences and Courses The BMA/BMJ Conference Unit organises conferences of a medical nature on behalf of the Association. Most conferences are open to all BMA members, other health care professionals and, where relevant, to members of the public.
International Institute for Society and Health's Public Seminar Series.
The Development Education Association The DEA organises a wide range of seminars, workshops, conferences and training programmes throughout the year.

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine The School aims to contribute to the improvement of health worldwide through the pursuit of excellence in research, postgraduate teaching and advanced training in national and international public health and tropical medicine, and through informing policy and practice in these areas. They have so many lectures, seminars and other events that we'd need another calendar to fit them in.
London School of Economics LSE's Public Lectures are open to all and are an opportunity to hear some of the most influential figures in the social sciences speak. Dr Peter Piot, Executive Director of UNAIDs, who gave a talk not long ago, is a prime example. Most events are free with entry on a first come, first served basis.
The Royal College of Physicians Most of these events require membership and are often on the more expensive side. It’s still worth checking out though, especially if you’re interested in the more conventional side of medicine.
The Royal Society for the promotion of health The UK's largest and longest-established public health organisation. Completely independent of government and of any special interest. With Members who are academics, health professionals and practitioners who share an interest in promoting health through their daily work, and come together through Society membership to provide cross-cutting, multidisciplinary perspectives on current health questions.
