Our Story
The United Kingdom Albanian Medical Society (UKAMS) brings together Albanian medical professionals and students to collaborate, support one another, and advance healthcare across the country.
What began as a small group of doctors has now expanded to include pharmacists, medical students, and other healthcare professionals—forming a thriving and ever-growing community.
