“Prevention is better than cure”
​
This well-known phrase, attributed to Erasmus in the 1500s, rings as true today as it did centuries ago. But how can we use modern approaches to meet the needs of different people?
​
Population-based prevention methods have been successful in some but not all areas, and there is an argument that we need precision prevention strategies to tackle some of the major issues facing healthcare in the 21st century. Indeed, the UK Government has identified prevention as an important part of its strategy for the NHS.
Precision prevention uses biologic, pharmaceutical, digital, behavioural, socioeconomic and epidemiologic data and interventions to create strategies for reducing disease and mortality in specific individuals or groups of individuals.
​
In this discussion, we will address some of the issues around precision prevention from the perspectives of different stakeholders, with the aim of publishing a position paper in this area. This session is online and free to attend, and we hope this will be of interest to individuals from healthcare, academia, industry and regulators, as well as members of the public.​
