Body Donation improves our knowledge and understanding of human anatomy, allows healthcare professionals to hone surgical techniques, and contributes towards the development of treatments which will benefit future generations.
Your body may be used for:
- Anatomical examination: the study of the structure and function of the body; a vital element in the training of our medical students
- The training and education of healthcare professionals: extending knowledge, developing existing skills and pioneering new surgical techniques
- Medical research: improving our understanding of the human body and contributing towards the advancement of new treatments
