National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition Talks

A key part of the National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition has always been our talks post-exams; as Glasgow University is the hosting institution of NUNC, we would like to extend an open invitation to all staff and students to attend the talks free of charge and support our competitors! We are delighted to welcome some very exciting speakers this year - please see below for more about them:

Mr Henry Marsh

A captivating storyteller, Henry Marsh is a leading British neurosurgeon who speaks candidly about success and failure and what it feels like to slice through the matter that creates thought, dreams and memories.

He read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University before studying medicine at the Royal Free Hospital in London. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1984 and was appointed Consultant Neurosurgeon at Atkinson Morley's/St.George's in 1987.

He has been the subject of two major documentary films: Your Life in their Hands (BBC 2003) which won the Royal Television Society Gold Medal and The English Surgeon (2009) which won an Emmy. He was made a CBE by HM the Queen in 2010.
