Member Info for Bobbyk

I'm not surprised we haven't had any UK sales yet
If you look at the attached slides from the Webinar from yesterday when it comes to commercial impacts it just seems to smack of organised chaos!

@pp Yes- will ignore- couldn't work that out LOL

I'm fully aware of previous spoof comments on their website but was interested to know if this name had cropped up in previous research by anyone. But - yes taking it with a pinch of salt!

Who is Suresh Vasdev? Shows potential leads for Indian market but looks like they want EUA first!

Hi guys, I have potential leads for this kit in volume for the Indian market. Any progress on getting the EUA through yet.
Best
Suresh.

I really hope we're on board for UK sales with our superior test. It is desperately needed! RNS to reflect that would be good.

If I can join too that would be great. I'd like to see a bigger prize though. Perhaps 100 shares of what the sp finishes on after the announcement! LOL

Will we ever get any if this is how contracts are given out! Taken from the Guardian article over 2 months ago
A healthcare firm which employs the prominent Conservative politician Owen Paterson as a paid consultant has been awarded a £133m contract without any other firms being given the opportunity to bid for the work.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has given Randox the contract to produce testing kits to help respond to the coronavirus pandemic. It was awarded “without prior publication of a call for competition”, according to details of the contract seen by the Guardian.
Matt Han****’s department awarded the contract last month under fast-track arrangements that enable public bodies dealing with the pandemic to give contracts to commercial companies quickly without the need to ask other firms to bid for them.

Who's getting impatient on the DIVOC website!

This could be good news for GDR especially in light of the Randox tests!
The NHS will get an extra £3 billion in funding to prepare for a possible second wave of coronavirus, Boris Johnson is set to announce.
In the wake of a dire warning of the consequences of Covid-19 rebounding, Number 10 said the funding will allow extra hospital capacity and routine treatments and procedures to continue.
The Prime Minister will also use a Downing Street press conference on Friday to commit to a new target of reaching the capacity for 500,000 coronavirus tests a day by November.

@st
Did you also see my earlier post to show DB is in conversation with Tom Jordan over POC testing

I don't know if this has been posted before but DB is obviously in contact with Tom Jordan by email over this development as well!

I have been reading with interest all the various info and views on here today and just think the sales team have been on furlough!
I wonder at times if I am on the wrong bus.
However, I have decided that I will see the journey through and hopefully pick up some decent customers on the way. When we reach our destination I hope it will be a great place to be and realise that I have been on the right bus all along. Today was the inconvenience of a puncture. We have not left the road and the journey continues.
C’mon driver Dave Budd. Put your foot down!
Have a great ride

This product from Primer Design is on the Catalogue of Resources. How does it compare to our product if you don't mind having look?

Let's hope GDR will get an invite to this party!
Tens of thousands of people in "high-risk" jobs will be tested for coronavirus despite having no symptoms as part of a new government scheme.
People including taxi drivers, cleaners and shop assistants will be involved in the pilot announced by the Department of Health and Social Care today.
The DHSC said the testing, which begins tomorrow, would improve understanding of the prevalence of the virus among those who are judged to be at higher risk.

On the GDR Linkedin page it states "Genedrive has been re-certified to ISO13485 standards following 3 day inspection by our Notified Body this week. ISO 13485 provides us the practical foundation to address the IVD Directive, regulations and responsibilities, as well as demonstrating a commitment to customers regarding the safety and quality of our medical devices."
This is just one more piece of the puzzle for the UK market!
National Innovation Centre NHS shows this to be the preferred standard when it comes to advice on procurement
"It is advisable to choose a supplier who works to a quality management system such as ISO 13485"

Thanks for the advice Magsy
If you read the title of my posting it wasn't Definitely, Surely Must be!
