Bute Medical Society

Bute Medical Society

The Bute Medical Society (BMS) of the Bute Medical School, University of St Andrews, Scotland, was founded in 1915 by its first president Margaret Shirlaw with the support of Miss Mildred Clark, Calum McCrimmon, Clive Mackie Whyte, Cecily Thistlewaite, Mary Ellison and W.G. Robertson. Though small, it flourished. The initial aim of the society was to hold clinically oriented lectures that the students could attend voluntarily. This tradition still holds fast today with the society's bi-monthly 'cheese and wine' evening.

As an independent, non-profit organisation it is still run entirely by medical students today. Under the sponsorship of the British Medical Association, Medical Protection Society, Medical Defence Union and Salford Student Homes the society is able to hold events such as the Hecklings, the splendiferous Bute Ball, a charity pub crawl, sports events and the hilarious Bute Revue (an annual parody of staff and events of the previous year).

The fund raising events held throughout the year contribute to the societies annual charities, recently including Maggies and The Make A Wish Foundation.

Meetings are weekly and the committee are open to suggestions.
