Presented by The Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science

Precision Medicine promises to be a revolutionary new area of medicine, with potential to transform health care.

The Australian Government has made a large investment in this field through the Genomics Health Futures Mission. But what are the different paths that Precision Medicine could take? What choices are to be made? How might they change health systems and health outcomes? Who will be affected and how? and Who decides?

Join us and a panel of experts and commentators as we consider how choices and decisions about Precision Medicine futures should be made, and how people whose lives will be affected should be informed and involved.
