“Universities are the tip of the spear
when it comes to research and development in the United States and we are
seeing R&D happen everywhere. For example, The Glasgow School of Art have
created a whole anatomical model in VR for use in medical education and they
are hoping to export that.”

An ultrarealistic 3D model, The Definitive
Human Anatomy will lead to a step change in medical and surgical teaching,
education and training since uniquely it is interactive in real time, and thus
enables virtual dissection and re-assembly supporting study, pre-operative
planning and surgical simulation.

Ian Ritchie, the former President of the Royal College of Surgeons of
Edinburgh which is partnering the GSA on the 3D Definitive Human Anatomy,
described it as “a ground breaking approach to understanding anatomy
which will be fundamentally important as effective surgical treatment starts
with a sound understanding of anatomy.”

The recognition
for the work being undertaken by the GSA on the 3D Definitive Human Anatomy comes less than a month after
Alastair Macdonald, Professor of Design in Health and Care at the GSA, was awarded
the accolade of Best Research in the AHRC- Wellcome Trust Health
Humanities Medal for his work in Antimicrobial Resistance. Professor Macdonald’s work in this field currently includes
a partnership with the University of Surrey and Fitzpatrick Referrals, the
practice of “Supervet” Noel Fitzpatrick
