Who we are
One partner for well governed testing
Diagnostics is a regulated, technical and fast moving field. Bringing a product into a testing service, or running a testing service to the standard patients deserve, takes more than one kind of expertise.
Our team brings laboratory, industry and software experience to the same table. We work with device manufacturers, laboratories and healthcare providers in the UK and internationally, and we stay until the work is in place.
We also invest in the people who carry out testing every day, with free courses, a free app and practical guidance for the point of care community.

Insights
Our latest thinking
Connected is not governed: what data integrity really asks of a POCT service
Linking point-of-care devices to the record removes transcription error. It does not prove who ran the test, whether they were competent, or whether the controls were accepted. That evidence is still the service's job.
Quality scienceHow good is good enough? Setting and verifying analytical performance for POCT
Before a point-of-care device goes live, someone has to decide how much bias and imprecision this clinical use can tolerate, and then prove the device meets it on site. Most services skip the first step.
GovernanceOne patient, five numbers: identity and record matching when POCT leaves the hospital
A correct result attached to the wrong person, or to nobody, is a patient-safety failure. Outside the hospital the identifiers multiply, and the controls that hold them together thin out.
