London Anatomy Office

 The London Anatomy Office was established in the early 1980s to provide a central service for co-ordinating the donation of bodies to the London medical and dental schools.  Nearly 20,000 generous and public-spirited people are currently registered with the London Anatomy Office to donate their body.  Each year approximately 350 donated bodies are accepted by the London Anatomy Office on behalf of the following teaching institutions:

  • Anglia Ruskin School of Medicine
  • Brighton & Sussex Medical School
  • Canterbury Christ Church University
  • Imperial College London
  • King’s College London
  • Queen Mary University of London
  • St George’s University of London
  • University College London
  • University of Surrey

The London Anatomy Office is funded by, and accountable to the London and South East Committee of Anatomists (LSECA) which constitutes anatomists who are active within the nine medical schools served by the London Anatomy Office.  The LSECA is accountable to the Teachers of Anatomy Trust (TOAT) and is a not-for-profit organisation which holds charitable status under the University of London. LSECA and LAO are wholly funded by financial donations and legacies, and the medical schools which receive donated bodies.

If you would like to contribute to costs incurred, please donate using the link: Donate to the London Anatomy Office - University of London, otherwise you may wish to make a cheque payable to the Teachers of Anatomy Trust or “TOAT” and send to the above address. BACS details are available on request.
