Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review

This Musculoskeletal Anatomy Review course provides a half-day overview of key structures of the upper limb, lower limb, back and spine. It is aimed at students & practitioners requiring anatomy knowledge within their field of study/scope of practice who wish to enrich their learning through the study of authentic cadaveric material.

Held in Bristol Anatomy's purpose designed facilities, you will be led by our expert faculty of Anatomists to learn from our extensive catalogue of pre-dissected human donor material.

Within a haptic and experiential learning environment participants will be guided to:

  • Identify key musculoskeletal and neurovascular structures of the lower limbs, trunk and spine

  • Appreciate structural and functional relationships in 3D

  • Relate your examination of the material to your learning and practice

Please note that this course is aimed at healthcare professionals, and as such details from a professional body are required as a part of the registration process (e.g. GMC, NMC, HCPC). Please get in touch with us at Vesalius-courses@bristol.ac.uk if you would like more information or if your professional body is not listed.

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

Cost: £140

Dr Suzanne Scott

Suzanne is an anatomist, sports physiologist and movement coach. In her role at the University of Bristol she has developed original, dynamic anatomy courses, at both undergraduate and postgraduate/professional level, which aim to contextualise anatomy in the actions and movements of everyday living and sports performance. Suzanne has a parallel career working within performance medicine teams and has coached movement and supported rehabilitation from an anatomy-informed perspective for over two decades, and brings her knowledge and experience to her anatomy teaching delivery.  

Russell Peters

Russell Peters is a Senior Lecturer in Human Anatomy at the University of Bristol, specialising in the structural and functional basis of musculoskeletal performance and injury. His background is in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics, with expertise in 3D motion capture, electromyography, and movement-based assessment.

Russell began his academic career at the University of Chichester, later leading the discipline of Sport & Exercise Biomechanics at both Kingston University and Birmingham Newman University. He has designed and directed multiple degree programmes and has extensive experience teaching anatomy and biomechanics at undergraduate, postgraduate and MRes level.

His research and consultancy portfolio spans professional and elite sport, working with athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Olympic squads, and alongside companies including Hi-Tec, Adidas and the UK Ministry of Defence. Russell’s work focuses on translating biomechanical insights into practical MSK applications, from understanding mechanism of injury, to the development of field-based assessment tools and performance-related strategies.
