NDMDs Neurodiversity in Medicine

We aim for at least two substantive events each year — one for members, one including MMS-linked guests — plus online activities during Neurodiversity Celebration Week. Dates for new events are posted in our Facebook group when they are confirmed.

Upcoming

    We run at least one members-only gathering each year — details are announced in the private Facebook group when dates are set.

  • Education & allyship event

    Our second annual-style event is open to members plus parties with an established relationship with MMS — topics, venue, and timing are shared in advance on Facebook.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week — March 2026

During this week we shared posters, lived-experience prompts, resources, a myth-busting day, a neurodivergent doctor panel, and a picnic — celebrating different experiences and perspectives across our community.
