There has been a lot of excitement in the office this week as Howell, one of our drivers, explains: "On Sunday night I was knowledgeable enough to win £250,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or WWTBAM which I now realise is the acronym for the show). I say...

It’s all going swimmingly
It’s been an extremely busy few months for MRC, and we’ve been working flat out trying to meet the upsurge in demand that many of our clients are experiencing. But Sally and I decided, in spite of this, to attend AvMA’s 30th Annual Clinical Negligence Conference in...
