What?

The ethics surrounding personalised medicine, and the challenges faced by the NHS in particular, are important issues for our researchers of the future to be aware of. The debate, chaired by Dr Messenger, will discuss ethical considerations including patient genome sequencing, the challenges of keeping our personal data safe and whether our health service is prepared for the making personalised medicine accessible to all.
