A message from Rory:

A sincere and huge thank you to all sites that contributed to this project and made it a success. The primary findings have been published here as an open access article.

The project is discussed here on the podcast.

We have subsequently been awarded a research grant to implement a high sensitivity point-of-care troponin in 30 rural health facilities across Aotearoa. If you are currently using a point-of-care troponin and are interested in being part of this project then please reach out to: rory.miller@otago.ac.nz
