The Trustees are saddened to hear of the death of Mike Bury, in July 2025. Mike was a major figure in medical sociology in the UK, North America and more widely for some forty years. He was Professor of Sociology at Royal Holloway until his retirement in 2003, having previously been Course Director of the MSc in Medical Sociology, at Bedford College and then at Royal Holloway for many years. He was also co-editor of Sociology of Health and Illness from 1994 to 2000. An obituary is to be published in SHI in due course and plans are underway for a memorial event in central London (more info here when it is available).
