In November 2002 a new international society was set up to provide a
forum for the disparate groups involved in medical screening. The
Medical Screening Society will provide a forum for people interested in
screening to discuss their ideas and problems, to debate controversial
topics in a friendly and constructive way, and to share their
experiences. The Journal of Medical Screening will be the journal of the
Society.
The Society will:
Set up working groups to look at problems and controversies in medical screening.
Produce scientific reports that would be published in the Journal of Medical Screening.
Hold periodic scientific meetings on screening.
Have a page in each issue of the Journal of Medical Screening
