Personalised Medicine, also known as Precision Medicine, utilises specific information on a person’s genetics, environment and proteins in order to prevent, diagnose and treat disease. This does not literally refer to the creation of medication unique to a specific individual. Instead, Personalised Medicine develops treatments to help groups of people for whom traditional medications and health systems have otherwise not been sufficient.

The goal of Personalised Medicine is to supplement good medical practice and provide the appropriate treatment to the right people at the right time.
