  • Innovation in personalised medicine and healthcare as a whole is here among us and is moving swiftly.
    But policy, rules and regulations must keep up if we are to make the most of the many breakthroughs, optimise the use of Big Data and bring novel medicines to market more quickly.

    The Brussels-based European Alliance for Personalised Medicine (EAPM) has worked continuously to bring stakeholders together to find a way through the legislative labyrinth that surrounds many issues affecting personalised medicine.

  • Charlie and the Medicine Factory

    In the famous final speech from the 1940 movie ‘The Great Dictator’, Charlie Chaplin’s character says: “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible… We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.”

    He continues: “We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery…The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way…We think too much and feel too little.”

  • Managing expectations: Hype v. Hope

    With modern-day medicine going the way it is - new developments, great science, the advent of personalised medicine and more - there’s little doubt that healthcare can move in the right direction if everything is put in place to allow it to do so.

    There are, of course, plenty of barriers to integrating personalised medicine into the EU’s healthcare systems, but perhaps one of the most surprising is a lack of willingness to buy-in to the incredible advances by those who have most to gain down the line.

  • Better Regulation in the EU - Are the law aligning?

    We are halfway through this European Parliament’s mandate and, as ever, many laws have been voted on centrally with many more to come, but will they actually be effectively introduced at national level in the area of health?

    And in the often-bewildering era of ‘post-truth’, it is most definitely time to listen to healthcare experts and stakeholders when it comes to formulating strategies and delivering on promises.
