B67 The Wonders of how the Human Body Works     NEW

This class is face-to-face.

Tutor: Peter Moran
The aim of these sessions will be to make everyone happier by better understanding their bodies. Each bodily system will be explored with emphasis on why we are the way we are and also on the impact of aging on our body. There will not be specific discussion on diseases that impact our body, but hopefully members of the class will be better informed should they have the need to understand and ask informed questions about any health concerns with their medical practitioner. The last two sessions will be devoted to the wonders of modern Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.
