- This paper sets out the concept of Personalised Medicine within the NHS.
- "Personalised medicine is a move away from a ‘one size fits all’ approach to the treatment and care of patients with a particular condition, to one which uses emergent approaches in areas such as diagnostic tests, functional genomic technologies, molecular pathway, data analytics and real time monitoring of conditions to better manage patients’ health and to target therapies to achieve the best outcomes in the management of a patient’s disease or predisposition to disease."
- The high level vision and strategy is to create a Personalised Medicine service in the NHS embracing four overarching principles : i. Prediction and prevention of disease. ii. More precise diagnoses. iii. Targeted and personalised interventions. iv. More participatory role for patients.
