IS THE MARKET ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL AGAIN?........... From yesterdays RNS.........

Similar for the entire UK's NHS if you think about it. The report is excellent news for Genedrive and they will be able to use the report to drive sales:-

Key conclusions of the SHTG assessment relevant to the Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID kit were as follows:
· Using the Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID Kit to identify clopidogrel resistance was resource saving from year two onwards and would also prevent 961 recurrent strokes over a 5-year period and save NHS Scotland approximately £18 million;
· The benefits of antiplatelet therapy are maximised when the patient is started on treatment within 24 hours of the initial stroke or TIA. Laboratory-based testing, which can take up to one week to provide results, could result in patient harm if treatment is delayed until the test results are available and many patients could be discharged from hospital by the time laboratory test results are available;
· Smaller hospitals serving remote and rural areas would experience problems accessing laboratory-based genotype testing;
· There are four regional genetic testing centres in Scotland and they are under pressure to deliver urgent cancer genetic testing priorities. There was concern that using regional genetic testing centres would result in inequalities in care across Scotland; and
· The Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID Kit had low test failure rate and can identify more targets, which is a crucial consideration for the inclusion of more patients from a wider range of ethnic backgrounds and therefore aids addressing inequalities in healthcare.
All IMHO.
