Our latest edition of The Right Chamber welcomes two very familiar faces to the podcast studio.

Laura and Courtnie share insights into the vital work of our department at Russells Hall Hospital. The team supports medical students and trainees from University of Birmingham, Aston University, and Three Counties Medical School—coordinating placements, timetables, and teaching to ensure high-quality training.
