This reflects the strength of the longstanding partnership between Leicester Medical School and the local NHS, which work closely together to provide students with outstanding clinical experience and support throughout their training.”
What Dr Gang Xu has said
“We apologise to our primary care colleagues for the recent delays in our chemical pathology laboratory service, which meant some samples could not be analysed. This falls short of the standard we aim to provide. Action has been taken to strengthen the service through increased staffing and process changes to improve capacity and turnaround times.”
