Leicester Medical School
Body Donation Programme
Many generous and public-spirited people feel that they would like their body to be of use after their death. One of the ways in which a body can be of use is to donate it for medical education. In addition to their instructional value, donated bodies are also used by clinicians in specialised training courses.
We occasionally offer short courses to other institutions or external groups such as surgical trainees for which we charge a fee. This fee has been carefully calculated to ensure that it reflects as accurately as possible the true cost of running a course. We do not make profit from the use of body donors in our courses.
