Starting in the next few weeks, we enter an exciting new phase of the development of the MAP Test. Now it’s time to put the MAP Test to the test and we will be doing so with the help of The GP Surgery in Wimbledon.
‘We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to The GP Surgery in Wimbledon who have offered us the free use of their wonderful facilities for MAP blood testing as we move into the clinical phase of research. 2 slots will be available for MAP blood testing each Tuesday, initially by invitation only -we will be offering the test first of all to our fundraising Heroes as without their hard work and support, none of this would be possible. However, we hope to be able to extend the invitation to anyone who would like to be tested by early next year.
Dr Amy Hermon-Taylor, who works at The GP surgery, had this to say about the practice:
I’m very grateful to The GP Surgery for supporting this important research project. I joined the TGPS team in May 2015 and have found it a fantastic place to work. All of my colleagues are excellent and caring GPs who I would have no hesitation in recommending to a friend or family member. We all believe in (and work within) the NHS but we recognise that it’s going through a tough time at the moment. The concept of high quality, low-cost private healthcare is a novel one and much needed to alleviate the burden on the NHS.’
