Terrible at Maths and Science at school, and with nothing more than an arts degree to recommend her, getting into medical school seemed like an impossible dream. 30 years later, with a hybrid career in surgery, writing and broadcasting, Weston feels passionately that all sorts of people can make good doctors, and that a career in medicine can be more adventurous and creative than we're led to believe.In this talk, Weston will describe her unlikely medical career as well as making a case for why the anatomy we learn at medical school is itself in need of urgent resuscitation.The event will be introduced by Dr Luca Di Gregorio, Senior Teaching Fellow in Medical Education (Faculty of Medicine).Please note that copies of Gabriel Weston's book, Alive, will also be available to purchase at the event, courtesy of October Books.Venue: Lecture Theatre B, Building 65 (Parkes), Avenue CampusSuitability: Ages 16+Check-in: from 18:00, just outside the Avenue Cafe' in front of the side entrance from the car park to Building 65.PLEASE NOTE: a few additional tickets will be available on the day at the ticket desk, on a first-come-first-served basis.Accessibility: Venue has full wheelchair access and hearing loop is available.
