Regulating genomics – the next decade
The implementation plan for 2021-2022 provides an insight as to how the National Genomic Health Strategy will begin to 'transform genomic healthcare over the next ten years'...
An approach to medicine based on grouping patients according to the characteristics of their disease or how they respond to particular treatments (or to prophylaxis). This enables the identification and development of measures that are most effective for particular groups of patients.
