Anatomy of the Pelvis

Led by our expert faculty of anatomists, this half-day course provides an in-depth exploration of pelvic anatomy through the study of authentic human anatomical specimens.

Covering key anatomical structures, relationships and clinically relevant concepts, the course offers a unique opportunity to deepen understanding of the pelvis in a practical, specimen-based learning environment.

You’ll examine the anatomy of the pelvic region, including structures relevant to urological, gynaecological, colorectal, musculoskeletal and pelvic health practice.

You’ll gain a greater appreciation of anatomical variation and the clinical application of anatomical knowledge across a range of healthcare settings.

Suitable for healthcare professionals, educators and students, this course is designed to enhance anatomical understanding and support safe, effective clinical practice.

By the end of the course you’ll be able to:

  • Identify structures of the female and male pelvis including ligaments, myofasciae, organs & neurovasculature 
  • Appreciate anatomical relationships & continuities in 3D 
  • Relate your learning experience to your individual scope of practice. 

When: 26th February 10am-1pm

 Where: School of Anatomy, University of Bristol, 32 Southwell Street, BS2 8EJ

Cost: £140

Please note: This course is aimed at Medical professionals, allied health practitioners & researchers whose scope of practice is in the field of female pelvic health & who are keen to refresh & extend their anatomical knowledge via guided examination of authentic human tissue.
