Body bequests
Body donation in England is strictly governed by the Human Tissue Authority, with donors registering while they are alive. At Bristol Anatomy Centre, we treat donated bodies with the utmost respect and dignity. We may use donor bodies for anatomical examination, education and training, and/or research. Full body donation has the potential to impact countless numbers of patients via the individuals each trainee in the school will treat over the course of their career.
