Norwich Medico-Chirurgical Society Annual Programme
Lunchtime and evening meetings are held at the Norfolk and Norwich Institute for Medical Education (NANIME) based at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH). View maps of our location.
Evening meetings start at 6.30pm with a two course meal, with wine, in one of the meeting rooms within the education centre and then at 7.30pm move into the Gooch hall to hear the speaker. There are opportunities to ask questions after the talk. There is also a loop system in place within the Gooch Hall. The charge for the meal is currently £5 but we are in the process of reviewing this and it may increase to £8 in the new year.
Lunchtime meetings start at 12.30pm with a buffet lunch in the Atrium outside the Gooch Hall and then move into the Gooch for the talk at 1pm. They are finished by 2 pm.
