Innovation in genomics services and a global framework to realize this - EAPM Presidency Conference on 27 October – Register now!

On 27 October, a virtual conference/webinar will take place run by the European Alliance for Personalised Medicine(EAPM). 

The banner title is 'A destination in sight:  Doing it right to bring personalised healthcare to patients’.  

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us for this key event. You can register here and click on the link to view the agenda here.  

The coronavirus outbreak provides health stakeholders with an unparalleled opportunity to examine and emphasize the importance of resilient health systems. 

Given the current global attention to the demands of an adequate healthcare system and the heightened interest in public health in general, this online conference will address what can be done to ensure that the health systems are resilient enough to not only handle shocks like a global pandemic but also respond those underlying forces that are shaping healthcare needs of cancer patients. 

The event is divided into four distinct round tables that will focus on a specific region at the following time which includes.

·       08.00 – 10.30 CET: Asian Roundtable

·       11.00 – 13.00 CET: Middle East Roundtable

·       14.00 – 16.00 CET: Europe Roundtable

·       16.30 – 19.00 CET: Americas Roundtable

All times are in Central European times so you would need to take account of this in your respective timezone. 

On top of this, we will discuss the implications for personalised health, and how such solutions can be used to manage public health, diagnose and treat diseases as well as predict ill-health and how such solutions can be part of the toolbox to rebuild healthcare systems after the pandemic.  The conference takes a look at this landscape and will discuss a policy framework to facilitate and empower healthcare systems. The framework will look at the following issues:

·       Governance

·       Reimbursement • Infrastructure

·       Awareness

·       Privacy

·       Collaboration

·       Technology

Participants will hear from a variety of experts from the different regions globally, all of which aim to explore how governments can allocate resources between competing public health demands, and how available technologies can help.

We expect to use the discussions as a potential framework for generating policy dialogue between different regions.

Once again, we hope you will join us on 27 October and you can register here and click on the link to view the agenda here.
