The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
I said the other day I would ask my friend in procurement about the testing arrangements within their NHS trust...they told me that they're still using the free tests supplied by the government but more worryingly they said they've been asked to delete the NHS test and trace app as they wouldn't be able to cope with NHS staff being asked to self isolate!! My son works for a different NHS trust so I'm going to ask him if they've been instructed to do the same....if this is confirmed then this shambles is going to cause infection rates to soar and I for one won't be visiting any hospitals any time soon!
I have a friend who is head of procurement for a said trust....when I meet up for drinks at the weekend I'll see what I can find out ...maybe I could use my powers of persuasion to ask for him/her to look into Avacta's lft you never know they might know something already!
If anyone thinks that this pandemic is nearly over they need to get a serious reality check...Scotland has been declared the Covid Capital of Europe...testing and the huge demand for accurate and reliable tests is needed EVERYWHERE in the world!

I have never in my life voted or ever had a strong opinion about politics prior to the last General Election where my first ever vote was for Boris ...but ... I found myself uttering the title of this post to my husband this morning!
This whole episode regarding contracts given out to mates, family, friends and pub landlords has made me sick to my stomach!
The sad thing is I dont see much chance of any of them being held to account...Let's hope AS has everything under control and sells everything we have to the rest of the world ! Rant over!
I've had flu like symptoms all week and am due to go to a 50th Birthday Bash tomorrow as well as spending the day with my 82 year old mother.
I've just done a covid test which has come up negative.....do I trust this result? I've cancelled seeing my mum today because even if it's the flu I have I dont want her catching it.
The question is ...if I feel better tomorrow should I go to the party? I know to be super cautious I shouldn't go but then what's the point of taking a test I dont trust.
This dilemma will be happening all the time..we need a test we can trust asap ...I too will be buying the Avacta test as soon as I'm able

Just posted a response as many others have mentioning Avacta.

Oh dear not good news but never mind we're
working on an affimer to detect the delta variant!
My son lives in New Zealand and has a friend who works on Border Control....they had a meeting a couple of weeks ago telling them that Border restrictions will be in place for the next 5 years!
Never has there been a better time to launch our test...THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS THEM!
Having recently returned from Portugal we were lucky enough to have booked our testing via TUI who supplied us with lft's to use prior to returning home...took the test downloaded the negative result and was then given a code to put on our passenger locator forms.
Unfortunately fellow passengers thought that they could take the free NHS lft's with them and this would be ok...not so...2 ladies were sent to a nearby clinic and had to pay over 100 euro's each for an lft test and a fit to fly certificate!!
Just shows the huge anomaly...our own country wouldn't accept the result of THEIR own tests!

Active petition....
ALLOW INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL WITH A LATERAL FLOW TEST RESULT.
This alongside TUI now joining other airlines taking possible legal action against the government could explain AS working towards contracts with airlines...all makes sense...THE most accurate lft opening up travel!
Am I wrong in thinking that our much anticipated RNS re: CE marking could actually land at any time of the day? If AS receives the results say late morning then surely the announcement would have to be made to the market the same day and not at 7.00 am the next day?
So there's going to be, not only a shortage of vaccines here in the UK but all over Europe and possibly worldwide! My husband has his second jab booked in for May but as my GP didn't book mine after my first vaccine it's now doubtful if I'll get mine before travel opens up May 17th (hopefully).
Never mind though, I can still get away on our planned trip to Greece May 20th with a bit of luck.
All I need do is take an Avacta test and off we go!
Testing in my opinion is a far safer indicator of non covid infection than proof of vaccine, and
testing is the only sure way of obtaining any of the milestones in the covid roadmap!
Test, Test, Test!
After listening to the latest interview with Alistair and the unbelievable potential for affimer applications.....if we're not already on the radar of some huge Pharma for a takeover then after listening to this we surely must be....problem is...can anyone actually afford us?
