Final thoughts

s things slowly return to normal, we will miss unfamiliaractivities such as long walks around london, baking and online theatre performances. Also, the air has been cleaner and the traffic quieter, Four months is long enough, however, and we are ready for new activities and adventures.

Thanks to our families, colleagues and clients for sticking with us and staying cheerful.

who we are

Our private company is primarily motivated by a desire to advance all aspects of healthcare.

Our team, led by Dr Steven Walker (Scientific Director) and Dr Christine Oesterling (Advisor), work across two locations in London and Berlin. This allows us to better manage resources, cope with periods of upscaling and avoid conflict. The core team are supported by a stellar host of associates that represent key areas of medicine.

LONDON OFFICE

Our London office is based in an old building, the Vestry House, in the grounds of St Giles-in-the Fields Church on the border between Covent Garden and Soho, close to Oxford Street. 

BERLIN OFFICE

By contrast, our Berlin office is in the Charlottenburg Innovations-Centrum, a  modern glass and steel building that forms part of the Technische Universitat and is supported by the cities of Berlin and Brandenburg.
