People who donate their body contribute in a vital way to training by medical schools and such donations are highly valued by Bristol University staff and students. The education and training of medical professionals, as well as biomedical research, benefit from the generosity of those who donate bodies for use after their death.

The event will be held at 1.15 pm on Wednesday 27 February in the University’s Old Council Chamber, Wills Memorial Building, Queen’s Road, Bristol.  Friends and relatives of those who have donated their bodies are welcome to attend, as well as anyone who might be considering leaving their body to medical science.

If you would like to attend the event please contact Janet Skinner, Department of Anatomy, University of Bristol, email janet.a.skinner@bristol.ac.uk or tel 0117 928 8137. Please note seating in the Old Council Chamber is limited.
