Symposium Mammographicum is a registered charity founded in 1979. Its principal aims are ‘to stimulate and support research and disseminate knowledge about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast disease’. We run biennial conferences around the UK. The 20th Symposium will take place online in February 2021. The conference reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of breast diagnosis and care.  

Symposium Mammographicum also runs Award and Bursary schemes to assist clinicians to carry out research, attend the conference or undertake an educational clinical placement.
