Medacs Healthcare is a leading healthcare staffing company which are contracted to provide healthcare recruitment services including workforce for the Leamington Spa laboratory. Many employees will therefore be contracted through Medacs terms and conditions. Individuals applying for roles are vetted and screened to ensure they meet the requirements and have relevant experience in laboratories and clinical environments. We have paused development work on the second laboratory in Scotland until we have further detailed projections on long-term testing demand.
