Get drawn into the world of medicine and health at the training hospital of the Faculty of Medicine! How has medicine and our understanding of the human body changed? Discover how our bodies change not only from birth to old age, but also how we can take better care of them. Peek into virtual reality, manage to perform laparoscopic surgery on a patient, and explore the human body to the smallest detail thanks to our unique plastinates. Become a healthcare worker for a while and try out some of the many interactive activities. Capacity for the tours is limited, so reserve your spot at early September at nocvedcu.cz.

In the training hospital, the following activities have been prepared for you:

How Good is Your Sense of Smell?
Our sense of smell changes throughout our lives. Test how well your sense of smell is working using our scent markers!

Changes in Memory and Planning Ability
Come and try the Tower of London Test—a diagnostic tool that reveals your planning and organizational abilities.

Healthy and Tasty Transformation
We will help you transform your favorite but less healthy dishes into their healthier versions. You will taste the prepared dishes and learn how to simply and deliciously replace less suitable ingredients with more nutritious alternatives.

You Are What You Eat
We will show you how basic ingredients are transformed into processed foods. Peek into the manufacturing processes of the food industry and their impact on the quality and nutritional value of the final products. Find out what lies behind the labels on food products and expand your awareness of what you are actually eating!

Transformation into a little medic
Help us connect a patient to an IV! We have prepared an interactive puzzle for little doctors with a ramp, taps, connecting tubes, and infusion solution (water). Their task will be to set the taps correctly and "start" the delivery of "medicine" to the patient. Come and see how the skilled hands of little experts save the day!

Peek into an Intensive Care Unit
Discover what awaits you after surgery when you are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

Virtual Reality
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the human body through virtual reality glasses with BranLAB technology.

Try Working as an Eye Doctor

How Will Aging Change You?
Find out in just a few minutes what physical and sensory limitations may occur in old age. Adult participants can experience a simulation of aging using the so-called "gerontological suit," which allows them to experience the difficulties seniors face daily.

The Dynamics of Daylight and Our Biological Clocks
Come and learn about the fascinating world of light and its variability throughout the day. This demonstration will teach you about the spectral composition, intensity, and directionality of daylight and how these factors influence our circadian rhythm and health. Find out how light regulates the biological clocks in our bodies and why proper lighting is key to our overall well-being.

How to Administer First Aid
Only those who know how can help. Come and transform into a rescuer! This activity will give you the opportunity to learn and practice the proper techniques for administering first aid.

What’s Hidden Under the Microscopes?

Practice Surgery
From classic surgery to laparoscopy. Come and try your hand at the work of surgical doctors in a simulated operating room.
