I hope you are right Stephen but I am a bit more cautious - the devote web page states that the programme launches in April 2023 and further details on each project will be announced after the devote programme officially opens - but that doesnt mean the projects will be announced in April as I read it.

Where did you read that? Nothing on the Web or twitter and if we did get funding it won't be for hearing loss...

How will a family be aware of different antibiotics. These are babies that have never had antibiotics so how will a family know if they will have an adverse reaction....unless they have the test? Or have I missed something??

We should hear about DEVOTE funding this week too

Good spot Lloyd. Could this be eligible for DEVOTE funding?

The DEVOTE projects will be announced by the end of April so we will know in the next couple of weeks if we are one of the projects to receive grant funding .

We were informed only two weeks ago in the funding RNS, the expected news flow in the next 6 months. Its ludicrous therefore two weeks in to read all the 'we need news now' otherwise we are doomed messages. Judge Mr Budd in 6 months, anything else is just unrealistic given what we know and what we have been told!

32p will be history on the next positive RNS.

You can't judge their sales team just yet. They have never had a world first product to sell with NICE endorsement. Medical sales take time and we've only just had the green light!

Once we get a sniff of international sales, this will fly. Patience is needed here.

Agree Big H, the first sniff of an international order, the SP will take off!

Agree Roger. Hopefully we have some unknown projects in the pipeline that qualify for the DEVOTE funding.

Fundamentals are all in place for a positivr few weeks/months...funding sorted, NICE approval, international distributors appointed, FDA application, possible DEVOTE programme grant, stroke pipeline etc etc.

The only scenario I see is that following the NICE guidance and promotion, the NHS are going to take this up big time. It prevents babies going needlessly deaf and is cost effective. I cant see how a NHS trust could defend to the population it serves, why they haven't procured it.

Hope you are right Lloyd. Seems we have the track record and connections to be eligible. Not long to wait now.

Hi. I emailed the devote programme about when it gets started and this is their reply...

Dear John

Thanks for your email and interest in the DEVOTE programme.

Programme partners are currently undergoing due diligence checks. As such, we are unable to share programme details at this time

Once this has taken place, we will be able to announce partners and start dates. Please keep an eye on our website and Twitter account for any updates.

Best Wishes,

DEVOTE Programme Team

Now bug time with NICE approval and promotion.

After yesterday's NICE promotion post, let's hope for a more positive day!

The Devote Programme launches this month with three innovative projects receiving grant funding - still a good chance one could be GDR.
