Other consultancy

Quantics also works in the NHS health sector, ecotoxicology and food science where our experience of analysis of  highly variable data is particularly valuable.

Ecotoxicology and food safety

Quantics is a preferred supplier of statistical services for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), and has undertaken studies looking at food additive safety. Quantics has undertaken major projects for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Crop Protection Association (ECPA) on pesticide residues in crops and the effects on invertebrates.

 

 

 

The work of Quantics in support of the preparation of successive national reports for the UK National Hip Fracture Database has been outstanding. The 2011 report - covering more than 53,000 cases from 176 hospitals - was by far the most extensive so far; and Quantics staff not only produced the now routine charts on comparative hospital performance, but rose cheerfully and flexibly to a number of additional challenge.
