How do YOU think we can improve the way illnesses are diagnosed? 🔬💙 Healthcare professionals and diagnostic experts know how essential in-vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are for delivering timely, accurate care. Yet the value of IVDs is often overlooked where it can matter most: in policymaking. The Institute of Biomedical Science is partnering with Roche Diagnostics UK & Ireland to develop a report that puts IVDs firmly on the policy agenda – to ensure the pivotal role of IVDs in supporting timely diagnosis for patients is recognised and prioritised. But to strengthen our case, we need input from those on the ground – you. Your insights will shape the report’s recommendations, ensuring policymakers hear directly from the frontline about what must change to unlock the full potential of IVDs. Your submissions can include: - Case studies proving how IVDs have improved patient care - Data on efficiency savings or reduced hospital admissions - Testimonials from patients or healthcare professionals – how have IVDs impacted you or your practice? - Insights into how IVDs support earlier diagnosis and better treatment decisions - Anything else you think is important and that you want policy makers to know If you or your organisation has insights to share, we want to hear from you.
