RE: Will Clinicians act contrary to NICE advice !?20 Aug 2024 12:54
"so for the sake of expedience would it not be quicker for you to post a statement from any clinician advising he/she intends to use POC in preference to an available LAB test."
I'm not going to interview a clinician with that specific answer but I will just refer you to the answer from Professor Bill Newman. NICE have recommended GDRs POC kit.
" "We are delighted to work with genedrive to implement this new clinical test to ensure that patients following a stroke or a mini-stroke get onto the best treatment as soon as possible to prevent a further stroke.""
It basically implies that clinicians will choose POC or lab testing if they are given the option. The option is not available to clinicians if the hospital doesn't possess and GDR POC kit. And that's were GDR need to focus now, ensuring that every hospital has a POC kit, which is why I suggested they need to give them out for free otherwise sales figures of the tests WILL be disappointing. To be honest, I think GDR would have more success selling the POC kit abroad eg USA, south asia and middle east. I'm no ramper, but when a deramper spouts as much black and white nonsense as a ramper, it really irritates.
