Venue

The University of Edinburgh Medical School

Teviot Place, Edinburgh EH8 9AG, Scotland UK

The Medical School at Teviot Place is part of The University's central campus situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. The area is within short distance of Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and many restaurants, shops and hotels.

Please see the map for more details.

Also known as the 'Old Medical School', this 19th century building orginally housed the growing School of Medicine upon it's completion. Since then, much of the School has moved to new premises at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary. The Old Medical School still houses many historic rooms such as the Anatomy Museum, as well as refurbished offices for the Centre for Population Health Science.
