果冻影院 Pathology Collections is an irreplaceable collection with important clinical teaching and research significance, consisting of some 6,000 specimens and objects. It comprises a series of sub-collections which originate from the incorporation of several London teaching and research hospitals, primarily the medical schools of 果冻影院 and the Royal Free Hospital, but also includes the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The collection
The core collection includes fluid-preserved human pathology specimens alongside skeletal material, foreign bodies, wax models, plaster casts and histopathology slides. With the exception of some historic specimens, most of the collections date back to the 20th Century.
The majority of the 果冻影院 Pathology Collections specimens are housed at the Royal Free Campus of the 果冻影院 School of Life and Medical Sciences. A small part of the collections are stored in a variety of locations on the Bloomsbury and Whittington sites for teaching. The Royal Free Collections' spaces include a museum display area along with specimens in visible storage as reference collections. There are also dedicated storage areas for the historic collections, along with workshops for the conservation and maintenance of the Collection.
The museums are part of 果冻影院 Culture that also includes the University's Public Engagement Unit and the Bloomsbury Theatre.
Promoting research and teaching with these collections is a high priority, and 果冻影院 Museums play a key role in engaging new audiences with 果冻影院's academic work. We aim to cement the role of 果冻影院 Pathology Collections at 果冻影院 by working with colleagues across the university to include specimens from 果冻影院 Pathology Collections in these activities.
For those organisations who continue to house and manage their own collections, 果冻影院 Museums gives help and advice where called on to facilitate the use of specimens for teaching, research and public engagement.
Students and staff from the 果冻影院 School of Life and Medical Sciences may access the collections for independent study during office hours.
Office hours:
Tuesday 1:00 - 5:00pm
We facilitate by arrangement the use of the collections for teaching and research outside these office hours. Please contact the curator at pathcoll@ucl.ac.uk to book an appointment.
