Science reproducibility: better system required to tackle global health

摘要

Good measurement plays a crucial role in responding to new challenges and can help us overcome some of the difficulties involved in developing diagnostics and drugs, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Every time you put petrol in your car, use GPS on your phone, fly by plane or receive a medical diagnosis, you are putting your trust in measurement. While often invisible. measurement plays a vital role in underpinning UK trade and regulation. It helps accelerate innovation and the adoption of new technologies. But it also plays an important role in responding to new challenges, such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
