According to its charter, the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London was founded "for the purpose of conversation on professional subjects, for the reception of communications and for the formation of a library" and served "several branches of the medical profession".

In 1834 the Society received a Royal Charter , thus becoming the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society of London. This society merged with several other specialist societies, from 1907 to 1909, to form the current ''' Royal Society Of Medicine '''.

The societies which merged to form the Royal Society of Medicine were:
