The first panel will discuss the CMO's report and the Life Sciences Industrial Strategy from industry's point of view. It will review the potential for genomics and genome editing, NHS engagement with industry and regulatory challenges.
The second panel will examine current plans and potential challenges involved in making genomics a routine part of NHS care and realising the Chief Medical Officer's ‘genomic dream'. It will aim to evaluate evidence from the 100,000 Genomes Project, and cover patient welfare, costs, infrastructure and NHS workforce skills going forward.
