The Anatomy Lab is BACK ON TOUR FOR 2023-2024! Here's your chance to bring the lab experience to your schools, colleges & 6th forms to showcase real anatomy to your students. We are award winning experts in creating experiences that can't be created in the classroom.

​

Matched to all the main GCSE & A Level specifications, the experience takes students inside all of the main anatomical structures to see, touch and feel the real organ specimens. Lead by OfSTED grade 1, award winning human anatomist and qualified teacher Sam Piri, we've over a decade of experience in delivering real impact in student learning in the sciences.

​

Each session packs rigorously academic content into a hands on, practical, enquiry based learning experience, where students develop beyond recall knowledge of basic biology to being able to apply, analyse and evaluate aspects of anatomy, physiology & disease all related to core concepts within the GCSE & A Level specifications.

​

It's no wonder we're booked every year by the UK's top performing schools and colleges in both the state & independent sector.

More information...

The course is ran with an aim in supporting teachers like yourself to drive up engagement and attainment in science. We hold the only licence in the UK issued allowing for the dissection of real specimens for educational purposes. All of our specimens are sourced from UK inspected abattoirs and the samples checked for disease by expert DEFRA vets. All the samples we use are porcine in origin, we use these for medical training as high up as our NHS CPD training. We have headlined events at The World Skills Show, featured on both BBC, BBC BITESIZE & The Discovery Channel.

​

To date Sam has conducted 13 real human body dissections through his formal training and partnership with local NHS Trusts.  As a crew we have dissected of 70,000 anatomical specimens. We have driven over 900,,000 miles and counting which is the same as driving to the moon and back almost twice. We've given  over £100,000 in grant funding to less advantaged students in both school workshop funding and tickets to our main national tour to widen participation and raise aspirations.

​

We want to work with you!

Extra sessions...

A popular option to complete the experience is to add the two optional dissection sessions:

​

The Eye

The Head & Neck session is elongated by 30 minutes as students dissect through the 7 muscles of the eye into the orbit, they excise the eye to observe the optic nerve before then deconstructing the eye to see the sclera, cone, lens, retina and humour of the inner eye. 

​

The Kidney

The Abdominal session is elongated by 30 minutes to dissect the kidney, students will see the structure of the cortex, medulla and renal pelvis before learning how the nephron functions to filter the blood.

​

These extra sessions can be added for £450+VAT to your lab experience bringing the total session duration to 4 hours.

The technical bit...

Our crew will arrive on site between 8 & 8.30am we arrive in our large crew tour bus facility which will need to be parked on site and plugged into the mains power for the duration of the show. 

​

Our team of technicians will assemble the screen and set up our IT equipment including a projector, screen and AV system.  We will need 10 pairs of dissection scissors from the school/college prep room supplied by you for the students to use during the lab sessions.

​

We aim to start at the booked start time however this may be flexible due to on the day access/set up/traffic delays, we'll keep you informed of any changes right up to our arrival.

​

We'll run to your break and lunch times to ensure that students and get refreshments as normal. All of our crew are DBS checked and carry their certificates with them. We will need access to the tour bus facility throughout the show.

After the event it takes the crew around 30 minutes to pack down and we'll be off site & on our way. We recommend that you send through the cleaners as usual just to be on the safe-side.

​

Remember we bring: Laptop, AV, Screen, Backdrops, All specimens, hand gel, bins and buckets

From you we need: 10 pairs of dissection scissors.

You will be sent: an e-book to print off for the students (x60) & a floor plan of how to set up the space along with dimensions of the tourbus for site management
