“As the Natasha Allergy Team, in 2023, we were so fortunate to be selected for a Triple Helix Award. What is such a pleasure is that these awards recognise the combined talents of the whole team with the knowledge that the added value by working together is far greater than the sum of the individual contributions. The awards also recognise the importance of human values and interactions which make all the difference in any working environment.”
