Today’s lesson, BRAINS!
The award-winning operating theatre live is bringing its live human interactive dissection show to St Margarets School For Girls on Saturday 14th September 2019!
Fresh from being seen on BBC’s Dragons’ Den over the summer, Operating Theatre Live are conducting the UK’s only touring surgical experience offering an academically rigorous educational experience matched to UK exam specifications. During this unique opportunity, your child will be taking on the role of a trauma doctor bringing the systems of the human body alive through dissections.
This incredible, immersive operating theatre experience will give your child the opportunity to dissect real specimens led by human anatomist Samuel Piri and his team of clinicians.
The events secure and challenge students to explore careers in medicine and healthcare in a mission to raise engagement in STEM subjects and take students on an experience into healthcare and human anatomy like never before.
For those quick enough to grab tickets, students will work systematically through a complete dissection of the human body. Students will be taught a variety of important clinical skills including interpreting X-rays and linking symptoms to clinical diagnosis.
There will be the opportunity to ask questions and at the same time handle the anatomical samples and even the chance to undertake some dissection for themselves.
With a post-mortem style experience, students will look at disease and pathology, working on real specimens using real surgeons’ tools. They will discover the intricate structures and how they function to keep us alive.
"I personally write the academic content and produce all of the activities myself. I and my team guarantee you a breath-taking, unforgettable trip through the human body like never before. Each student will leave stretched and challenged having made measurable progress against the science specification, we've got them all covered. (GCSE, A Levels BTEC's Scottish National 5 and Highers)”.
Samuel Piri (Anatomist, Teacher and Programme Director)
