The Society is the only professional association, in the United Kingdom, of doctors practising geriatric medicine. The majority of the 2500 members worldwide are consultants in geriatric medicine, the psychiatry of old age, public health medicine, general practitioners, and scientists engaged in the research of age-related disease. The Society also has members in the nursing, therapy and pharmacology professions. It was founded in 1947 for “the relief of suffering and distress amongst the aged and infirm by the improvement of standards of medical care for such person, the holding of meetings and the publication and distribution of the results of such research”.  The Journal "Age and Ageing" is published on behalf of the British Geriatrics Society and the British Society for Research on Ageing
