It’s Christmas Eve and time is ticking for Santa Claus to deliver presents the world over, but not only is Santa in a race against the clock, he is in a race against some of Planet Earth's most extraordinary medical conditions. Journey with Santa as he soars across the skies, encountering illnesses and infection along the way. Will he be able to outrun or overcome them, or will the journey prove too dangerous?
Are you curious about tropical disease and global health? How about understanding infection in different parts of the world? Or, have you ever considered becoming a doctor in the future? Join Brighton & Sussex Medical School (BSMS) for their Annual Christmas Lecture, created for KS2 & KS3 students to discover more about global health, and the challenges of living in or travelling to other parts of the world. This festively themed lecture has been designed for students aged 8-14 to be both entertaining and educational. Alongside an interactive lecture, there will be various stalls set up in the foyer where there will be the opportunity to handle real medical equipment with the help of our current medical students.
Please note, this is a free event, however we are raising money for the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, Rockinghorse. If you wish to make a donation to Rockinghorse Children's Charity you can do so using the following link:
