THE BALINT SOCIETY 

The Society promotes and advances research and study on the psychological aspects of general practice with special reference to the doctor patient relationship and disseminates the knowledge beyond the Society for the improvement of the medical care of the public at large. The society does this through conferences,workshops,a lecture series,publications and advice to other organisations.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
