The British Association of Clinical Anatomists (BACA) was established on the 7th July 1977 in the United Kingdom to advance the study and research into Clinical Anatomy for the public benefit. The Association has, through its two meetings each year, and its Journal, Clinical Anatomy, set out to achieve excellence in Clinical Anatomy for all Health Professionals and those engaged in Teaching or Research. Anatomy is interpreted in the broadest sense, to include gross topography,imaging anatomy in all modalities, microscopic anatomy and ultra-structure,development and growth before and after birth, neuro-anatomy and the developing field of movement science. Membership of the Society is open to those with a clinical or scientific interest in its objectives. The Association welcomes all those with an interest in Clinical Anatomy to attend its meetings and present the results of their scientific work or case studies. Particular support is offered to Junior Academic and Clinical Staff and students who would wish to gain experience in presentation of their work. The Society is a Registered Charity in the United Kingdom.

The Rodewald Concert Society was formed in 1911 in memory of the celebrated benefactor and conductor in Liverpool, Alfred E Rodewald (1861 – 1903). For many years the Society was the premier organisation in Liverpool and on Merseyside responsible for bringing some of the finest International Chamber Music Groups to the region such as the Amadeus, Smetana, Janacek, Pacifica and Endellion as well as pianists such as Paul Lewis and Yundi. Commissions of new works also featured among its other activities, notably by Hugh Wood, Emily Howard and John McCabe. While the Society suffered from a period of financial difficulty during the 1990s, the support and enthusiasm of chamber music lovers in Merseyside and its present Chairman, the Society was able to refocus its activities. While the Society remains an independent Charity today, it also supports the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic to ensure the provision of a full range of musical performances for the benefit of the wider audiences drawn from the Merseyside area. Chamber Music in Liverpool also has become firmly established in the wonderfully refurbished St Georges Hall Small Concert Hall. The concerts are held in its intimate and acoustically fine environment. The smaller size of the hall meets the atmosphere needed for Chamber Music. Today, the Society's main activities are to sponsor concerts, offer amateur players to be tutored in Chamber Music at Play Days and commissioning of new compositions
