The equipment has been approved in general or rather the original prusa designs and with critical shortages (they've not been able to get any for some days now) they're accepting all they can

I don't think you are getting my point at all. A nurse per se, is not a senior person who makes decisions in the NHS.

Surely there have to be hospital adminstrators, not nurses, who approve it. There are real questions about hygiene here. The NHS is not going to allow its staff to use equipment that is not approved.

As things stand it is exactly the same kind of thing as I described in my earlier email a good idea, going viral which has no proper approval from senior people and therefore could risk being a waste of time.

A nurse somewhere? Does she have official backing? Do you have good evidence of that?

We are in contact with a nurse in Brighton, it was organised by her cousin initially (he works in 3d printing software) but she's the one requesting these

they certainly do have the print farm capacitybut may not have the staff, this particular project is someone specific needing 100 odd asap and approached us with the printing methods

Who is "someone specific" are they working with someone who will definitely and provably use the equipment created. I know a bloke isn't really enough. I am being insistent about this for good reason. I've recently emailed the group's directors with an idea, which because this list is public and googlable I can't discuss here yet.
