About Us
Brief history
Originally formed as a charity in 2012 as an Investigation Unit to provide training incentives and standardize processes helping in improving various aspects of healthcare.
We now operate as membership organization set up through an agreement between a group of clinical driven colleagues who came together for one reason, improve diagnostics in healthcare and drive innovations projects. Most of team work as an ‘unincorporated member association, meaning individual members are personally responsible for the work undertaken and contractual obligations between any of our customers.
Our main members are Haemostasis specialists comprising of clinical Consultants, research and clinical nurses, biomedical scientists and PHD researchers collectively forming the Haemostasis Research Unit. Here we have strong interest in ADAMTS13 & ADAMTS7 and in platelet disorder diagnostic solutions.
Other associates have an interest in flow cytometry, immunology and specialized chemistry protocols.
We also have UKAS technical assessors onboarding to provide support & laboratory managers with extensive change control experience.
We still continue to work with charities in particular rare disorders where a lot of development is required
(i.e. TTP), part take in sustainability projects and assist start up training companies (i.e. Onlycells) to deliver seminars and webinars.
