Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Brighton

The university has a library facility for all students.

The University has an Anatomy Laboratory at BSMS located in the Medical Teaching Building on the University of Sussex Campus which was opened in 2003. In 2018, the facility was expanded and updated (~£750,000) to include a student changing room area, three Dissecting Rooms DR, a prosection/preparation area, an office and staff changing area with toilets and showers and state-of-the-art Digital Learning and IT systems. In addition to this, we acquired a new anatomy seminar room in 2021. The seminar room is a dedicated space for dry laboratory teaching and may be used for living anatomy and ultrasound teaching, non-human-based surgical simulation, as well as lecture and seminar-based teaching. The Dissecting Rooms house a collection of over a thousand museum pots and human bones that are all used for teaching. These demonstrate both ‘normal and pathological anatomy and range in age from recently acquired specimens to those that are over 100 years old. The Anatomy Laboratory is licensed under The Human Tissue Act 2004, regulated by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA). It holds both an HTA Anatomy Licence and a Public Display Licence so that quality teaching and training sessions can be held for students and professionals alike. The licence holder is the Registrar of the University of Sussex and the day-to-day responsibilities for the licence reside with the 'Designated Individual Ms Camilla Ingram, Prosector.
