Mon 7th Sept - Fri 9th Oct
London only tour
Supported by the Wellcome Trust and Central
YMCA. Developed in partnership
with the Royal Academy of Engineering.
Y Touring's newest project will encourage informed debate on issues surrounding
the use of electronic patient records for research. The project will highlight

about science and technology are made, including those that raise ethical issues,

PSHE, RS, English and Drama GCSE specifications and A level Sciences and Humanities
