Welcome to the West of England Medical Journal. This is the online journal of the Bristol Medico Chirurgical Society.

From 1874 to 1882 the Society published transactions; the Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Journal was established in 1883. The journal was published until 1994, latterly as the West of England Medical Journal.
