Personalised medicine is special because it is a cross-cutting field, which can only succeed if expertise and data from very different disciplines and sectors are brought together. In addition, the implementation of personalised medicine approaches impacts on all citizens and patients in our societies across Europe and beyond. A concerted effort is needed to make progress. Therefore, not only national and regional governments, but also European institutions are dealing with questions on how to best govern and implement personalised medicine in our healthcare systems.
The vision of the European Partnership for Personalised Medicine (EP PerMed) is to improve health outcomes within sustainable healthcare systems through research, development, innovation and implementation of personalised medicine approaches for the benefit of patients, citizens and society.
