Welcome to the Department of Anatomy

Modern Anatomy is about placing function in a structural context (Fraher 2007)

IN CLINICAL DISCIPLINES:

The department aims to maintain the importance of understanding the structure of the living body at the forefront of clinical medical, nursing and therapeutic practice, thereby enhancing the quality and efficiency of patient care.

Within the College of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences the department aims to:

• promote horizontal and vertical integration
• develop appropriate factual content relevant to each of the student groups that we teach
• ensure upward vertical integration of basic sciences
• integrate Anatomy with modern medical imaging

IN SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES:

An anatomist in a university is bound to raise to as high a level as possible the scientific standard, and teach anatomy as a branch of biology, an independent science, the aim of which is the knowledge of the laws of life for their own sake (Clelland, 1911).

Within the College of Science the department aims to:

Deliver teaching within a research-led environment.

• Provide students with a broad background in modern anatomy.
• Provide laboratory/practical training in aspects of Biophotonics and Imaging.
• Encourage students to develop oral, written, numerical, visual, presentation and collaborative skills appropriate to a wide range of employment.
