🚨US tariffs are set to drive up costs for the UK’s MedTech & diagnostics industry – putting pressures on businesses, the NHS & patient care. 🔬I pressed the government to take urgent action & ensure access to life-saving medical technology isn’t put at risk.

@natalieben @BSACandJAC Thank you for attending our event yesterday. We look forward to working with you in advocating for government action to address the growing AMR crisis by promoting rapid diagnostic testing to ensure responsible antibiotic prescribing.

With @BIVDA talking about progress - or rather lack of - towards the Darzai target of no antibiotic prescription without diagnostic confirmation of need #AMR #AntibioticResistance @BSACandJAC

I started my adult life at university studying biochemistry before spending my working life in the classroom teaching the next generation of scientists. That's why I was proud to attend the APPG for Life Sciences in Parliament. Only through world-leading research at our hospitals, universities, and specialist centres can we help build an NHS fit for the future! #Wolverhampton #Willenhall #Opportunity

Really impressive work by Dr Emma Yates and her team. Their simple blood test, Enlighten, could have a huge impact in detecting multiple types of cancer at earlier stages. It's encouraging to know that research into tackling these devastating diseases continues.

Ready to promote @AMLoBiosciences at this morning’s @CommonsSITC meeting. @newcastlehelix @NewcastleHosps @Northern_Acc @NorthstarVent @BiosphereNCL @BIVDA @Bionow @MedilinkNOE
