Built for Cypriot
doctors in the UK.

Founded in 2020 to connect, support, and inspire Cypriot healthcare professionals across the United Kingdom — from foundation doctors to leading consultants.

Our story

The relationship between Cyprus and British medicine runs deep. Since the NHS was founded in 1948, Cypriot doctors and scientists have shaped clinical practice, driven medical innovation, and held leading positions across UK healthcare.

Cyprus Medical Society UK was established in 2020 to give this community a formal home — a place to connect, to support one another, and to inspire the next generation of Cypriot healthcare professionals.

Today we are a growing network of over 500 members across 25+ UK cities, united by shared heritage and a commitment to excellence in medicine.

Mission

To connect, support, and advance Cypriot healthcare professionals across the United Kingdom.

Vision

A world-class community where Cypriot medical professionals set the standard for clinical excellence and professional collaboration.

Values

Excellence, integrity, community, and the enduring belief that shared heritage creates stronger medicine.

Our Patron

Professor Kypros Nicolaides →

Professor Kypros Nicolaides is one of the world's foremost authorities in fetal medicine, based at King's College London. He pioneered first-trimester screening for chromosomal abnormalities and has transformed antenatal care globally — saving countless lives through his research and clinical innovations.

Following our 2020 inaugural event, we were honoured to welcome Professor Nicolaides as Patron of Cyprus Medical Society UK. President Anastasiades subsequently awarded him the Grand Cross of Makarios III — Cyprus' highest civilian honour — in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to medicine and to Cyprus.

Our Committee

Cyprus Medical Society UK is led by an elected committee of Cypriot healthcare professionals volunteering their time to build and serve the community.
