It's been quite a year, and since this prototype turned into a reality we've been thrilled to see your reassuring @PeRSoPPE faces. Here is a selection of the wonderful people looking after us in Southampton. Please add your own! @UHSFT@unisouthampton#thankyouNHS
Thank you to our brilliant team @UniSotonLibrary, who helped us get the @PeRSoPPE open access designs online almost overnight (and are even now open for our students, business almost as usual!)
We are proud of our research community for producing research vital to the coronavirus effort, including the @PeRSoPPE respirator which has been developed so quickly and openly.

Watch the three minute briefing by the @unisouthampton researchers who have developed @PeRSoPPE. They will explore whether disjointed systems prevent effective Covid-19 PPE entering the market at #EvidenceWeek this week.
