Hunterian Society: 194[th] and 195[th] sessions (January-November 2020)
The programme for the 194[th] session of the Hunterian Society was summarily curtailed by the COVID19 pandemic: scheduled scientific dinner meetings were initially cancelled during the long lockdown period, but lectures resumed virtually later in the year. Meetings of Officers took place by phone, email or Zoom and the Society’s Administrator worked from home. No face-to-face meetings have been held at Lettsom House since the start on the first lockdown: all Council meetings and lectures have taken place via Zoom.
The Society welcomed two new Honorary Fellows, Sir Mark Walport (Government Chief Scientific Adviser in the United Kingdom from 2013 to 2017 and Chief Executive of UK Research and Innovation from 2017 to 2020) and Mungo Campbell (Deputy Director of the Hunterian, University of Glasgow).
Three short-listed candidates presented their essays to members of the Hunterian Society at a virtual Zoom meeting on Monday 16th November. Tamari Rose Nyakunengwa was awarded the prize for her insightful essay and presentation entitled John Hunter’s unsung contribution to obstetric medicine and its role in the diagnosis and management of fetomaternal haemorrhage.
The Hunterian Society Transactions Volumes LXV-LXVII were published in July 2020. The Society’s AGM, scheduled to be held in May, was postponed until 19[th] October 2020 (i.e. at the start of the 195[th] session) , when it was held via Zoom. Amendments to paragraphs 2 and 62 of the Laws specifically to include veterinarians, both as Fellows and as entrants for the Hunterian Society Award and Scholarship, were approved at the Annual General Meeting in October 2020.
During lockdown, the Society’s Council took the opportunity to reflect on how the Society might move forwards: a strategic plan for the next 5 years was developed that was approved at the AGM on 17[th] May 2021.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HUNTERIAN SOCIETY
Registered Charity Number 229174
I report on the Accounts of The Hunterian Society for the year ended 31 December 2021
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Society’s Trustees’ are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Society’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011( the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
•examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
•follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
•state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
•which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
(a)to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(b)to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
- •to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
