ANATOMY STUDIES ON CADAVERS
at a West London Teaching Hospital
These afternoons are organised for students and practitioners working within the health field. You will have an opportunity to look at specimens, view bones and muscles, their origins and insertions, nerve and blood supplies and other anatomical features. You can even have a feel (gloves provided)! These courses are particularly useful for anyone embarking on an anatomy course, or for existing therapists who want to update their knowledge of anatomy.
These courses are open to health professionals only to comply with the regulations set down by the Human Tissue Authority and the legal position of the hospital protected. You will be required beforehand to provide me with details of your qualifications and professional affiliations so that your bona fide interest in anatomy can be verified.
Feedback from previous courses:-
"... thank you for a truly memorable learning experience ... It was extremely well organised and executed by you and the Professor was an absolute star."
"..... just writing to say what a fantastic day I had yesterday. The courses were excellent and C. was very interesting and informative. It was a pleasure to learn in such relaxed and enjoyable surroundings. I learnt more in three hours there than I did studying for months at Uni with the text books. Having the ability to touch and ask any questions you like and not feel like they are stupid questions makes the learning experience a really fulfilling one. Without doubt the best teaching I have had. I am looking forward to the next one in October."
"...... I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday. I really enjoyed the morning session. The professor was excellent and I have learnt so much. I am really cross that I couldn't stay for the afternoon as I have just had an e-mail saying it was brilliant. I am so jealous ....."
"Monday was amazing. Thank you so much for your help and consideration. It was great to see you again too and interesting and interested people. The whole experience felt "inclusive" and comfortable."
(Letter from an A&P lecturer proposing to recommend the course to his students) "I know some will find your work absolutely fascinating and relish the chance to experience what you can offer to help with their education."
".... just to say HUGE thanks for organising yesterday. Totally blows my mind how wonderful the body is. Learnt so much and saw things the way they are inside which was pretty wow!"

Dissection Days are in the process of being arranged, understanding the layers of connective tissues. These days have been described as "truly life changing" and will enable you to experience body work in a totally different way. Please let me know if you are interested in being contacted about these days.
Future dates are being arranged specifically for midwives and colonic irrigation therapists. If you are an existing practitioner who would like to set up an afternoon on a specific subject that is not mentioned above or if you would like to have it tailored specifically towards a particular therapeutic practice, I should be able to organise this for you.
The courses are now recognised for CPD points by many training providers including ten points per hour for ISRM members, as well as a whole day per three hour session by BTER.
