Secondary Education
Would your school like to get their nostrils around what a 19th Century operating theatre really smelt like? Or maybe try their hand at designing the next great medical innovation?
Our Education Team have designed a wide-range of bespoke sessions for Key Stage 4+ exploring history, science, PSHCE and everything in-between. We’re here to inspire your students to:
- Gain curriculum-based knowledge
- Understand about caring for ourselves
- Think about careers in healthcare
Self led visits
Explore our 11 galleries with our bespoke, free to download trails covering curriculum-based areas of history, science, PSHCE and design. Focus on one theme or cover several in a day.
Who looks after you?
From your sibling to your school nurse, so many people work together to keep you healthy and look after you when you’re poorly. Learn about the importance of self care, effective ways to stay healthy, and discover careers in healthcare.
Public Health
Travel back through time to meet key figures in the fight against disease and learn how its history can help us inform the very current issues we face today. Ideal for those focusing on public health
through the ages.
Pain, pus and blood
A gruesome trail following the three main problems in the history of medicine – pain, infection and blood loss. From preanaesthetic horrors in our Victorian Operating Theatre to the ‘Cutting Edge’ of modern surgery.
Medical Innovations
This trail takes you on a journey of medical invention, looking at how we’ve overcome medical challenges in the past and how medical engineers are helping to find solutions to modern-day problems.
Bugs, bloods and drugs
Test student’s knowledge while encouraging engagement with our museum galleries. Designed to be relevant for all exam boards and a great way to introduce or revise the topic of Disease for GCSE Biology. Can be used along side our ‘Deadly Diseases and Industrious Infections’ Tour.
Health and social care highlights
Based on the BTEC qualification, this museum trail focuses on Human Lifespan Development, careers in the healthcare sector and elements of public health.
Disability: From inaction to fashion
Disability history is the history of all people. This trail highlights some individual’s accounts of lived experience with disability, aspects of how people with disabilities have been viewed and treated by medical professionals and society, as well as changing contributing factors towards the causes of disability in the past. This trail is not comprehensive. We invite you to centre the experiences of disabled people and all marginalized people while viewing the galleries and exhibitions.
Workshops
Inspire your students beyond the classroom with immersive, hands-on, curriculum-based workshops for Key Stages 3 and 4. All workshop tickets include full access to our galleries, self-led trails and on-gallery programme.
