About this event
- Date and time Tue 1 Mar 2022 from 8:15am to 5:15pm
- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by Pathology
As fewer autopsies are being done, it is important for doctors, pathologists, coroners and anatomical technicians to understand the value of autopsy to learn the causes of death.
This event highlights the value of autopsy in modern medicine for both adults and children and seeks to teach pathologists the use of autopsy in education, research and audit. Participants will also appreciate the importance of an autopsy to help families who suffer sudden death.
During this session, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate autopsy and its value for audit and research
- Learn how to do an autopsy to avoid infection with health and safety measures
- Learn regarding the consents from the families for possible genetic causes for screening of families
