Overview:

Successful development and deployment of healthcare innovation depend on a policy framework that facilitates consistent decision-making and clear funding arrangements. This approach boosts access to new treatments and supports their continued development. Renewed attention to disparities in healthcare and access across different regions is driving new assessments of obstacles and the pursuit of solutions, promoting greater networking and collaboration among cancer institutions.

Target Audience

Attendees will be drawn from key stakeholders from the community whose interaction will create a cross-sectoral, highly relevant and dynamic discussion forum. These participants will include healthcare professionals, decision makers, patient organisations, and umbrella organizations representing interest groups and associations actively engaged in the field of Personalised Medicine. Each session will comprise panel discussions as well as Q&A sessions to allow best possible involvement of all participants.

Expected outcomes

It is absolutely clear that it is necessary to formulate a personalised healthcare-centred strategy involving decision makers and regulators in the arena of public health, to enable the EU and Member States to contribute to integrating personalised medicine into clinical practice while enabling much-greater access for patients. In order to provide a clear focus and to devote sufficient space to analysis, discussions during the conference will concentrate on how

  • to assess and address obstacles to the integration of personalised medicine into
  • Europe’s healthcare systems
  • to identify best practices and their added value
  • to outline the potential priority areas
