Using cutting-edge scientific and technical developments scientists have a central role in delivering the results of these “blood tests”.

They will run an open day where groups of 3-4 people are guided through the facility by staff visiting each department where tests are done. Each tour will last approximately 40 minutes giving you an insight into the science behind medicine!
