Other Points Arising From Inspection:

112. A request was made for the use of computers to view anatomy videos in both the Clinical and Anatomy Resource Centre and the ground floor tutorial rooms. Having looked at both of these spaces and the security arrangements being put in place to prevent the inappropriate viewing of these videos I am happy for this to go ahead. I requested that the use of the spaces, the tutorial rooms in particular, were monitored regularly.

113. This was the situation at the time of the inspection. However, since then the decision has been made not to use the tutorial rooms but to install four dedicated PCs in the Clinical and Anatomy Resource Centre with static IP addresses and USB ports and screen capture disabled.
