This workshop will be held the afternoon before the "3rd Annual Diagnostics North East Conference 2020: Precision Medicine – Basic Science, Diagnostics and Therapeutics" and is relevant for anyone who has an interest in developing diagnostic clinical tests and devices.

Through an afternoon of engaging talks, delivered by experts from the Newcastle In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative and our collaborators, attendees will learn about the evidence they will need in order for their diagnostics to have the best chance of being adopted into the UK healthcare system.
