RE: 5 more sites to be announced soon11 Jan 2025 08:35
It was from the funding RNS, which mentions the individual nations by name…
“The programme is clinician consortia-based and will be led by principal investigators Professor Bill Newman and Dr. John McDermott (University of Manchester / Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust), with 14 separate hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units across England (inclusive of some sites which have already implemented the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID test as part of routine clinical use), Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (inclusive of nine sites already utilising the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID test in routine clinical practice). The start date was 1 November 2024 with a maximum duration of 18 months, with sites phased into group 1 (sites already currently using the test) and group 2 (remaining sites). Group 1 site testing is funded under the programme for six months from project initiation, following which funding for continuity of routine clinical practice will be required to be sought from alternative sources by those sites.”
