#4 How many people came?
The trip to London brought 24 biology students and the planet earth screenings varied per week but with a maximum 15.
#5 How did the attendees participate?
Within the museum there was the opportunity for the attendees to practice their surgery skills on realistic skin, experience the festiveness of Winter Wonderland and had the opportunity - who without our society - wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet and socialise with peers from other year groups.
#6 What did you learn?
A more in depth understanding of human physiology and anatomy as well as getting to know our peers from other year groups.
#7 How does your event benefit students?
It provided a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain access to a museum that has never been seen before by non-medical students. Where there were genuine human tissue samples on display – which provides a different aspect of learning and a more realistic idea of human anatomy. Unfortunately, we could not take many pictures as we were abiding by the Human Tissues Act.
