Webinar / How using pharmacogenomics can drive cost savings and deliver better patient outcomes
In this webinar, we'll delve into insights from one of the pioneering sites involved in the Pharmacogenomics Roll Out – Gauging Response to Service (PROGRESS) initiative.
This programme aims to explore the feasibility of implementing a nationwide diagnostic service within the NHS to identify genetic variations linked to commonly prescribed medications.
The objectives of this project include:
• Developing and validating an initial genetic test suitable for NHS utilisation
• Establishing a mechanism to translate laboratory findings into prescribing guidance for primary care practitioners (GPs)
• Collaborating with a select group of GPs in the North West to trial the system.
• Implementing a strategy to ensure affordability for the NHS, while also assessing adoption feasibility
• Engaging with patient groups across England to gauge sentiment regarding this form of testing
During this session, Videha will offer an overview of the programme, delving into clinical involvement and gathering feedback from patients participating in the scheme in Manchester.
