After winning an award from Innovate UK, the BPS and the University of Liverpool have been running a series of workshops on implementing #pharmacogenomics in clinical practice in the NHS. Pharmacogenomics is a key thematic priority for the BPS, so this award is an important step in helping us realise our goal of bringing personalised medicine to as many people as possible. The award from Innovate UK, which is part of UK Research and Innovation, will enable the team to organise a regulatory network and to develop guidance and tools to identify the regulatory hurdles that may be holding back pharmacogenomics from being fully embedded into the NHS. https://ow.ly/5Mjy50SP30X
