Thank you Prof Leeds for a brilliant talk and for your support of GRANT!
Fun afternoon with the @grantnetworkorg discussing research promotion through the training network. Talk by @KeithPohl7 about research in endoscopy. Great abstracts and well done Drs Checkitt and Chu for winning the best abstracts.
