It is great news that the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) will soon be welcoming the first ever cohort of third year medical students to be studying at Lincoln into its hospitals.
The 80 students from Lincoln Medical School at the University of Lincoln will have hands-on learning across Lincoln County Hospital and Pilgrim Hospital, Boston, whilst also caring for patients.
I welcome that the new Medical School in Lincoln is enabling students studying medicine to become part of the community in our local hospitals and it is hoped that they will complete their junior doctor training locally and apply for jobs in the county.
