Biology Competition

Another competition!

Following on from the success of the "Your body, your consent?" event, we are running another, similar competition.

Again, only five places are available...

and again, the event is being held at The Royal College of Surgeons.

This time the title of the event is Surgical Skills and it is being hosted by professional surgeons.

Through this workshop, you will be able to learn genuine medical skills, such as the suturing of wounds. You will also be able to speak about the pathway into medicine and what the entry interview for medical school consists of.

Competition details to come in the new year, so keep an eye on the blog and notice board!

Countdown to end of term has begun!

So, what will you all be doing this time next week?

If you are an A level student you will probably be starting to plan your revision for January formal or mock exams. BTEC students will be thinking about a work schedule for improving/completing assignments, or maybe revising for a GCSE exam in the New Year. I'm sure you are all thinking about the shopping/eating/partying/relaxation you are about to enjoy too!

As second or third year students at H6FC will know, this time of year heralds an annual event of startling magnitude in the Biology department -

THE BIG FAT CHRISTMAS QUIZ and associated festive fun!

Join us in the S2 grotto at any point during Thursday morning to take part in games and activities with a festive theme. BIG FAT CHRISTMAS QUIZ at 10.30am.

John Hunter and the history of the Hunterian Museum

Hello hello!

As you will recall, 5 lucky students recently took part in a fascinating event called "Your body, your consent?" which looked at ethics in biomedicine.

This event was hosted by the Royal College of Pathologists at the Hunterian Museum.

We have compiled some key information about the history of the Hunterian Museum, which you will find here:
