Little France

At the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France today, taking Martin for his regular endoscopy for his Barrett’s oesophagus.

The hospital is part of the Edinburgh BioQuarter, and is a key initiative in the development of Scotland's life sciences industry, which as of August 2020 employed more than 39,000 people in over 750 organisations.

An estimated 8,000 people work or study at the BioQuarter, generating £280 million in gross value added each year. The BioQuarter site is not expected to be fully occupied until around 2036, but is already the third largest bioscience community in the UK, after Cambridge and the Newcastle Helix at Newcastle University.

Here’s hoping that you are having a good Tuesday.
