Setting - Department of Reproductive Physiology: a research, service and clinical environment

Lingua Medica operates from the Department of Reproductive Physiology, in Bartholomew Close, a short distance from the hospital’s central square.
In addition to supplying essential radioimmunoassay services to the hospital, the Department has played a leading role in reproductive endocrine research in the 25 years since its creation by the late Prof Tim Chard whose scientific writing skills - several books and over 500 papers, chapters & reviews - and precocious interest in computing provided an inspirational environment for a succession of prolific clinicians and research fellows, and, since the early 1980s, for Lingua Medica.
