Renowned for its proficiency testing services and quality assessment programmes, UK NEQAS’ strategic decision to relocate to Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park is aligned with its vision to foster innovation, collaboration and growth within the healthcare community.

Previously based at the Northern General Hospital, it joins a growing number of health, sport and wellbeing-focused organisations based within the flex office space at Landing Pad, including Barnsley Women’s FC, Cricket Arena, Reyt and, most recently, Medilink North.

Jen Christie at UK NEQAS commented:

'We’re extremely excited to be relocating UK NEQAS to Landing Pad. The state-of-the-art facilities offered onsite will no doubt increase the opportunities for us to fulfil our charity aims of improving healthcare through education, as well as fostering the creation and delivery of new and innovative services.'

Rachel Vickers, spokesperson for Landing Pad, added:

'By bringing together entrepreneurs, start-ups, scale-ups and not-for-profit organisations in the health, sport and wellbeing spheres within our state-of-the-art facilities, we’re aiming to support the accelerated development and deployment of transformative solutions that address pressing health challenges and enhance wellbeing on both a local, national and global scale.'
