The Region covers the six Areas listed below:
- Bath & Bristol

- Channel Islands
In addition there is a
Young Member Panel centred around Bristol and a special interest

Information about events and contacts for each Area or Panel is provided in their respective pages.
The overall programme for the Region aims to provide a mixture of learned society activities including prestige lectures, talks on popular subjects, visits to industrial organisations, aspects of Continuing Professional Development, student prizes and social functions.
With the resumption of a full service, post COVID, we expect to re-instate the monthly newsletter summarising events. This is followed up by a targeted email advertising each event about 2 weeks before it happens.
