Body and Tissue Donation
Brains for Dementia Research aims to promote brain donation and establish a network of brain banks to facilitate research into dementia.
The Human Tissue Authority (HTA) is mandated to license and inspect organisations that use human tissue for purposes such as research, public display, post mortem examinations, treatment and education. If you would like to donate your body or tissues for research or education the HTA has a wealth of information to make this process clearer and more accessible.
