A donated body can be of great value to medical schools and can be used for education and training and research. Prior to death you will need to contact your local medical school to obtain a consent form. This form must be signed and witnessed and kept with our Will or personal papers. It is important that you notify your family and GP about your wishes to donate your body. Not all bodies are suitable for donation. A post-mortem examination is one reason why a medical school might decline the offer of a body donation. It is always wise to have an alternative plan in case your body is not accepted. Useful information on body donation can be found on the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) website.
