Who we are

Our forebears’ concerns about quackery are less relevant today, but we still have an important role to play in ensuring that patients receive quality healthcare. In addition to our educational programmes for healthcare professionals, we are active in the political sphere, bringing our influence to bear where it is needed to enhance healthcare delivery or to oppose proposals that we consider to be detrimental.

A commitment to the ethos of mutuality – to serve the individual and common interests of members – makes MPS an entirely service-driven organisation. MPS staff have two overriding objectives – to provide a high-quality personal service and to preserving, through good stewardship, the society’s financial health.
