“The companies are perfectly placed to partner each other and I’m sure that the products they create will have an extremely positive impact, not only on the market, but on the patients who use them.”

Dr. Paul Spence, GlobalAcorn’s CEO, said: “I am extremely pleased with this agreement, as the clinical development of these products is now in the safest possible hands with MAC and we can work together to fulfil important unmet needs within the healthcare industry
