Twelve sites across Europe were selected by Cepheid to experience point-of-care testing during #EuroTestWeek. We can’t wait to hear how POC testing impacts these sites! #TestTreatPrevent#GeneXpert#PCRTest
📢 Upcoming @CepheidNews webinar 📢
Next Tues, 8/9 @ 2pm CET. Miguel Rocha & Sofia Pinto @GATVIH will present how they provide early detection, treatment & linkage to care for #HIV#hepatitis#STIs in community settings with POC technology

We've published our 2019 STI and chlamydia screening in England report.
Diagnoses increased by 5% from 2018, including a 26% increase in gonorrhoea cases.
Consistent and correct condom use with new sexual partners is the best defence against STIs.

While the @StaatsoperBLN can't perform in its Berlin concert house, its musicians are bringing music to Berliners at home. Our building was lucky enough to be included -- what a wildly beautiful gesture in these troubled times
But deeply unfair that Home Office still resisting expanding free visa extension to care workers, NHS porters/ cleaners. Why are those who care for & transport vulnerable covid patients, scrub the floors & door handles of the Covid wards excluded? Why are they not worth support?
what is it about cruelty and inhumanity to immigrants that gives people like Stephen Miller and Priti Patel - both immigrant families/ such richly gleeful job satisfaction?
Today I got to use a COVID GeneXpert test, to urgently get a result for a patient on dialysis. It took an hour in total. Supply is limited, so we're careful with how we use them, but when a rapid result is needed, we can provide it.
We at Cepheid are proud to help improve access to testing for #CML, #BreastCancer and #BladderCancer in low-and middle-income countries through our expanded partnership with the Max Foundation.
Peter Piot: “Many people think COVID-19 kills 1% of patients, and the rest get away with some flulike symptoms. But the story gets more complicated. Many people will be left with chronic kidney and heart problems. Even their neural system is disrupted...”

@charlesbeckett Here here - it’s so simplistic to just say resign on principle. They know they can save more lives by staying on the inside despite the pain it must cause them. These are amazing long serving doctors who deserve more respect.
