Tissue Bank Open Day

Why is brain donation such a vital gift?
Come along and find out...

Parkinson’s Disease Society Tissue Bank Open Day

The Tissue Bank Open Day is an annual event, when we open our doors to the public so that they can get a better idea of who we are and what we do. It is primarily aimed at registered donors, prospective registrants and next of kin, but anyone is welcome to come along. It usually held around March or April and lasts for an afternoon. An example of a typical programme of events can be found below. More specific information will be available closer to the time. In the meanwhile, if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Programme of Events:

• Arrival and introductions

• Talk

• Rotation of groups of people between:

  1. Questions and answers

We hope it will be an interesting and enjoyable day.
