validation

Although early results are promising, the new fingerprint recovery method will need further testing and validation before it can be used by law enforcement agencies around the world.

“That was pretty much all the validation that we really needed to understand how powerful this is, getting homes prepared in our local community, because you can only do so much during an actual incident.”

Allen’s approach is blunt and blistering: “I’m here for validation and I probably should explain/ How my marriage has been opened since my husband went astray.”

The money invested by Pancreatic Cancer UK will see the test become a multi-centre validation study, and will then seek adoption by the NHS.

Neither ambition nor vanity, his drive is perhaps the residue of a childhood spent trying not to be a burden, where validation could only come through sacrifice.
