Ever wondered about the last surgery people may have?
Autopsies remain the best way of finding out why someone died, but it’s not always the way it’s shown on TV. In this interactive event, you’ll have a chance to watch a virtual autopsy and talk to the people who perform the procedure. Come and find out how autopsies help doctors understand more about disease and provide information that benefits future generations.
Supported by The Royal College of Pathologists

But what happens if we ignore our natural rhythms, and what are the effects of our increasingly 24/7 society? Come along to find out all you need to know about your biological clock.
