Our lifesaving device for small babies is stuck in development | Letter

Our lifesaving device for small babies is stuck in development | Letter The Nidus haemodialysis device has undergone a successful clinical trial, but but there is a lack of funding to get it through regulatory approval, write Dr Heather Lambert and Dr Malcolm Coulthard We too found the “outside the box” thinking in Alexander Masters’ long read (Many life-saving drugs fail for lack of funding.

David Williams obituary My father, David Williams, who has died aged 98, served as general secretary of the Confederation of Health Service Employees (Cohse, now part of Unison) trade union from 1983 until 1987.
