April 2021 update
Please note that all teams listed on this page had their accreditation extended for 2020/21.
I would like to give a huge well done to all the teams for their achievements during this year’s Lab Awards. I have really enjoyed seeing each team progress, and have been so impressed by the levels of enthusiasm, commitment and creativity shown by everyone involved.
Keep up the great work!
