Children on their school holidays who have an interest in medicine and surgery may like to go along to an event at Foley Street on Friday for some hands-on experience.

“You are warmly invited to come and join in the fun (and learning) at the Wellcome / EPSRC Centre For Interventional and Surgical Sciences (WEISS),” says University College London (UCL).

At the event you can try tabletop demonstrations and go on behind the scenes tours of the labs at Charles Bell House, in Fitzrovia West.

“Come and see live demonstrations of cutting-edge equipment, control a real surgical robot, experience the challenges of key-hole surgery, and talk to our researchers shaping the future of healthcare.”

The event is free and there is no need to book for Science of Surgery. However, separate tours of the ground floor laboratories are offered on a first-come-first-served basis on the day, and can be booked when you arrive.

Science of Surgery — 11am to 4pm, Friday 12 April 2024, at Charles Bell House, 43-45 Foley Street, London W1W 7TY.
