Edge Hill has fantastic connections. I was lucky enough to take part in an eye-opening trip to see how the Chinese healthcare system works. I was fascinated by the differences between a modern hospital Critical Care Unit and a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. In one we saw state-of-the-art intensive care beds, and in the other, bottles of dried baby spiders, seahorses and lizards waiting to be ground up into remedies.
