Join award-winning pathologist Dr Suzy Lishman CBE to learn what an autopsy (post-mortem-examination) involves and how modern lifestyles can affect our health. With the help of a live model and a set of autopsy instruments, Suzy will describe how pathologists examine the body to find the cause of death and how autopsies have changed over the last 500 years.
Although there won't be a dead body, any real body parts or blood, the descriptions are quite vivid so this event is not recommended for the squeamish or under 14s.
