Testimonials


Dr Edmund Jessop, Medical Advisor National Commissioning Group

"Bazian provided the national commissioning team with an analysis of policies used in various countries for the use of a set of very expensive drugs - enzyme replacement therapies for lysosomal storage disorders. The project was initiated to establish whether our policies were in line with international practice.

Bazian understood the brief very well and delivered an excellent report in both quality and relevance. Project updates were appropriate and to the point. Bazian services were of an excellent quality and I would be happy to make use of their services again"

 

Kate Caston, Director of East Midlands Specialised Commissioning

“The work done on PAVR with Bazian brought together commissioners, clinicians and academics to ensure that the commissioning of this new, innovative procedure will be based on sound evidence.  This will benefit future NHS patients, and has demonstrated that we can introduce new technologies through a robust research-led approach.  It also provided a model for introducing innovations to the NHS in the future through a collaborative process based on World Class Commissioning.”

 

Professor John Newton, Director of Public Health, South Central SHA 

"Bazian produced high quality reports within very tight time constraints and summarised their findings in a clear and concise manner.  Whether to fluoridate or not was a contentious issue, and the level of scrutiny on information published by the SHA in the public domain was highly scrutinised both nationally and internationally. Bazian's independence from the SHA was important and their findings helped inform the Board paper on the scientific evidence of water fluoridation. The important work they carried out will be shared nationally with other SHA’s who may be carrying out similar consultations in the future."

 

Nat Billington, Managing Director of The Map of Medicine

“Bazian’s focus on the evidence, the quality of their processes, and the personal commitment of individual members of their team have been invaluable in meeting our urgent demand for accurate, high quality and clinically relevant information.”

 

Paul Nuki, Chief Editor, NHS Choices

"Bazian demonstrate on a daily basis their ability to produce high-quality scientific appraisals for our news service within the extremely tight deadlines that are required of them. Their reliability and consistency are matched with a flexibility to cope with any ad hoc demands necessary for the service."

 

Dr Bob Coates, Director of Public Health, Hampshire Isle of Wight PCT

“Bazian’s analyses helped health authorities tackle difficult decisions about how to handle new treatments and high cost procedures. Their independence was an important feature, especially in areas where controversial decisions were liable to provoke appeal, or in some instances judicial review.”

 

David Bousfield, Electronic Publishing Services newsletter

“Bazian have built a probability analysis environment which enables them to clearly indicate the likelihood that individual announcements are likely to be sustained as the direction in which the research will go - and thereby indicate to clinicians struggling through the current morass of research literature, clinical trials and reported general practitioner findings what the actual direction is going to be.  In circumstances where no one can read all of the evidence, scientifically valid trend analysis is vital.  Bazian has been building an enviable reputation here."
