Innovation in the NHS: personalised medicine and AI

Inquiry

Advances in artificial intelligence and genomics offer the prospect of developing truly personalised medicine across prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Our inquiry will seek to use this as an example to explore a broader question: why does the NHS adoption of the UK’s cutting-edge life sciences innovations often fail, and what could be done to fix it?

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 11:59pm on 20 April 2026.
