General Directions for anatomy, public display, research and post mortem sectors

The HTA has issued General Directions for the anatomy, public display, research and post mortem sectors.

Issue date: 21 April 2011

In our December 2010 e-newsletter, we notified establishments of our intention to issue Directions in April 2011. We have contacted Designated Individuals and Licence Holders by email with instructions and documentation. There is an online form to complete and submit to us no later than Thursday 30 June. The Directions and supporting documentation is now available on our website.

The Directions require establishments to check and confirm their licensing information; to undertake a self assessment against our standards; and provide general information about activities.

Following assessment of the information provided, we will update establishments’ licensing records. The information from this exercise will inform our inspection programme and regulatory approaches to each sector. 

Post mortem sector

Further information is available for the post mortem sector under General Directions 001/2010 on our legal directions page because new directions were not issued to this sector.
