Due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19 most of our team is working from home.

We are actively supporting the work of the Scottish Government and NHS procurement in the development of flexible supply chain solutions during this time of unprecedented supply and demand challenges for the NHS.

If you can offer manufacturing or supply chain support or you have an idea that you would like to share, please email us direct on NMIS-covid-response@strath.ac.uk.
