Dr Micaela Gal - RAPP-ID: Development of RApid
Point-of-Care Test Platforms for Infectious Diseases
RAPPâID emphasizes a great prac4ce partnership between academia, clinicians, technologists, basic scien4sts and Industry.
ď⯠Launched in April 2011, supported by the Innovative Medicine Initiative (IMI)
ď⯠A public-private partnership between the European Union and EFPIA
ď⯠5 year project awarded âŹ14.5 million Euros
ď⯠Involves 5 major pharmaceutical companies, 10 Universities and 5 SMEs across Europe
ď⯠RAPP-ID aims to develop state of the art Point of Care Tests (POCTs) for the rapid detection of
bacteria, fungi and viruses as well as resistance to antimicrobial drugs. A focus on Sepsis,
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections and Tuberculosis
ď⯠Led the Initial POCT scoping assessments
ď⯠IdentiďŹed key areas of relevance to clinicians, clinical trialists and POCT developers.
ď⯠Developed the User Requirement SpeciďŹcations (URS) document for each target disease.

RAPP-ID: Development of RApid Point-of-Care
Test Platforms for Infectious Diseases
Who will beneďŹt from RAPP-ID?
ď⯠Patients: Targeted antibiotic treatment reduces mortality, preserves current antimicrobials and
prevents usage of highly toxic last-line and less efďŹcient antimicrobial drugs.
ď⯠Clinicians: By developing algorithms for better diagnosis and tailor-made treatments.
ď⯠Health care facilities: Reduced transmission of MDR organisms due to improved infection control.
ď⯠The pharmaceutical industry: Rapid POCTs will better identify patients who would be eligible for
studies, reduce time for enrolment and hence costs of development of new drugs.

ď⯠Dr Nick Francis, Practicing GP and Senior Clinical Research Fellow within
the WSPCR has launched a booklet for parents explaining common infections in
children who are normally healthy. The booklet meets one of the School's key aims of
translating complicated research evidence into pragmatic health solutions.  A child
with an infection can be a scary experience for parents and understanding more can
help them feel more in control.  The new booklet covers fever, coughs, temperatures,
common colds, sore throat, earache, croup, lack of appetite, antibiotic use, what can
help, when and where to get further help.
ď⯠In addition to helping parent the evaluation of the booklet within General
Practice has been shown to reduce antibiotic prescribing and parents intention re-
consult their GPs, without reducing satisfaction with the care they receive.Â
