Using Human Tissue

If you intend to store human tissue at UWIC for teaching, training or research you must make sure that you comply with the requirements of the Human Tissue Act (2004) (the HTA). Failure to do so could result in you being prosecuted, and could also prevent researchers at UWIC being licensed to store human tissue..

Information about your obligations under the HTA is provided in our Questions and Answers document.
