This comes across to me like a contemporary snake oil company. As @mgtmccartney suggests, they need to demonstrate benefit AND an absence of harms from screening offered; CEO's reply doesn't do this. The use of NHS logo is deliberate. It falsely suggests endorsement by the NHS.

Extent of antibiotic prescribing in primary care based on risks of infection-related hospital admissions journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01… Deciding who needs abx in primary & urgent care is often difficult, for multiple reasons. I think reliable, discriminatory POCTs could help; need R&D.

The decline the UK is in is of our own doing. We vote for comforting lies, so that's what manifestos give us. We need to start voting for realism and we need political parties that give it to us. You think we have it bad? If we don't, our children have no future.
