Giving Thanks

Every year, the School of Anatomy hosts a Thanksgiving event in the Wills Memorial Building to commemorate the gift those who have donated their bodies to us have imparted to our learners.

This event is a moment of reflection within a continued feeling of gratitude and respect for our donors, bringing students and university staff together with donor’s families to emphasise how crucial each donor’s gift is in developing the knowledge, skills and understanding of the healthcare professionals of tomorrow.

Thank you

Our ability to teach, carry out key professional development, postgraduate training and do research is dependant upon the generosity of those persons who bequeath their bodies to us. Our heartfelt thanks go to the many individuals who have chosen to do so, thereby helping progress knowledge and its application to advance medicine.
