01 · The opportunity
Faster answers when clinical decisions cannot wait.
Traditional microbiology can involve lengthy workflows at a time when clinicians increasingly need faster answers. Workforce pressures, antimicrobial resistance and growing testing volumes create significant opportunities for technologies that improve speed, automation and clinical decision-making.

Have a technology that fits?
A microbiology technology has to work within the pathway — not just in isolation.
Our understanding of diagnostic services allows us to look beyond the test itself to how a technology can be implemented, used and adopted within UK healthcare.
