Workshops
LIVE BRAIN
DISSECTION
Our ever popular brain dissection workshops are back! Take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness an actual brain autopsy live.
Join our resident Professor Of Neuropathology, Professor Steve Gentleman, as he performs an autopsy on specimens diagnosed with neurodegenerative conditions. Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view this process from start to end, asking questions and observing the brain pathology along the way.
​
This brain-cutting workshop will provide an opportunity for students to appreciate the central nervous system in ways they have never seen before; the interior features of the brain are analysed in great detail with a world-class neuroscientist – an opportunity rarely available elsewhere!

VRIMS:
VIRTUAL REALITY NEUROSURGERY
This interactive workshop will use the power of virtual reality to simulate neurosurgery. Immerse yourself in the new world of simulations belnded with powerful teaching and research
Neuopathology Case studies
Join us in exploring interesting cases in neurology and neurosurgery.
This workshop will be led by Dr Mark Fabian, a Consultant Neuropathologist based at University Hospital Southampton NHS FT. He is also co-lead for pathology teaching at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Southampton. His work includes diagnostic reporting of neurosurgical specimens, and post-mortem neuropathology in consented, coronial and forensic settings. This workshop will be a short introduction to this small but exciting specialty, with some interactive case studies and careers advice.​
