about
The event will culminate the amalgamation of two of the oldest medical schools in the world, whilst providing the opportunity for students to congregate for a day of lectures from world-renowned speakers in the field of anatomy, as well as a selection of hands-on innovative workshops with the focus being on clinical anatomy. In addition, we are pleased to present some of the brightest medical students across the country with poster presentations and multiple student-led seminars, proceeding throughout the course of the day.

- Mr Thomas Santarius is a consultant neurosurgeon, specialising in brain tumour surgery. In 2005 he co-founded the Cambridge Lectures in Neurosurgical Anatomy. He was also one of the first doctors to pioneer the use of 3D technology in neurosurgery theatres in the UK. This real-time 3D HD visualisation system enables the viewing of extremely detailed operations.
- Dr Siobhan Moyes is the Lead in Anatomy at Peninsula Medical School, with that being her key teaching interest. She has been studying the effects of different anatomy teaching approaches in gaining the 3D understanding of anatomy essential for medical students. This included methods not involving cadavers, such as the virtual dissection table Anatomage.
- Professor Caroline Wilkinson is a forensic anthropologist with craniofacial specialism, and the director of Face Lab. She is well known for her work in forensic facial reconstruction and has contributed to many TV programs. Some of the notable facial reconstructions she has created include King Richard III ‘King in the carpark’, Mary ‘Queen of Scots’, Saint Nicholas and more.
- Professor Charlotte Roberts has a background in nursing and is currently working within the field of bioarcheology. She is specifically interested in exploring the interaction of people with their environments in the past through patterns of health and disease (paleopathology), especially those health problems that are common today.
