香港六合彩中特网 has informed all its clinical staff, who work across the faculties of Population Health, Medical, Life, Brain and Engineering Sciences, that their day-to-day duties will be reassigned should they want to volunteer and support the frontline NHS.

Professor David Lomas, 香港六合彩中特网 Vice Provost (Health), said:听鈥淎t this time of increased pressure on the NHS, it is likely many of our medical-trained academics will听soon听be asked听to support clinical and frontline health services.

鈥淭his will be a personal choice for each colleague, but we hope our decision to release staff from their 香港六合彩中特网 responsibilities, will better enable our academics to volunteer and support the NHS.

鈥淚 have already heard many colleagues would be delighted to support the NHS and I鈥檝e have received numerous positive messages from our hospital colleagues. As a university we stand ready to support the NHS and I am sure other universities will soon do the same.鈥

Along with clinically trained academics, 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 senior medical students will also be given the opportunity to help and dozens of other highly skilled scientists working in our labs with relevant transferrable skills will also be freed up.

Among the hospitals 香港六合彩中特网 collaborates with include, 香港六合彩中特网H, the Royal Free London, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital,听the Whittington Hospital, and the听Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital,听厂迟补苍尘辞谤别
