Donate your body to medical science
Donating your body, brain or tissue to a medical school or research establishment is a valuable gift - your donation will become an important resource for training healthcare professionals or for research, and such donations are highly valued by staff and students alike.
If you are interested in donating your body, you need to contact your local medical school who can answer specific enquiries and provide consent forms. The minimum age for donation is 17 and you will need to make your wishes known in writing (and witnessed) prior to death. Consent cannot be given by anyone else after your death.
A list of frequently asked questions are available on the Human Tissue Authority website or you can view their donation pack online.
