We recently asked experts: What does 'multiomics' mean to you? How can AI turn multimodal data into real-world health solutions? Read what we found. AI-driven multiomics in health: our 2025 roundtable insights: www.phgfoundation.org/research/ai-...

Wise insight from Chris Ham on the potential implications for commissioning from the changes ahead. It would be lovely if the NHS could use learning from previous policy approaches to support implementation of new structures - I appreciate this is hard and not necessarily anyone's fault.

Closing the genomic data diversity gap: lessons from South Asia - PHG Foundation The GenomeIndia Project is working to close the genomic data diversity gap and opening its genetic database to researchers worldwide

📢 Our latest post examines the critical issue of underrepresentation in genomic data, highlighting how initiatives like India's GenomeIndia Project are paving the way for more inclusive hashtag #precisionmedicine #datadiversity #genomics

This is a great example of the broader application of genomics 👇https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czx45vze0vyo

A useful perspective on the emerging thinking that needs to take place to ensure AI in healthcare is safe, ethical and improves health outcomes

National data service will simplify access to health data for research | Wellcome Wellcome is partnering with the UK Government to establish a £600 million health data research service. It will simplify secure access to health data for research.

The announcement of the National Health Data Service today is welcome news (non pun intended), particularly as it was a key recommendation of the excellent Sudlow Review. wellcome.org/news/nationa...

Reorganising the NHS Future arrangements must support shifts in care

Jess Studdert nicely articulated the disconnect between local government devolution and health devolution (which has a different footprint). Makes me wonder how we ever address the wider determinants of health if everyone is working to different populations

The last panel at today’s #bennetinstut policy conference is on forgotten about places. I am interested to understand what this can mean in the context of health. Let’s see what’s covered….

Five things we learned from Keir Starmer’s speech on reforming the state | Institute for Government What did the prime minister reveal about his plan for how government should work?

IfG assessment of Starmer's civil service reforms makes for vinteresting reading - by turns fair, enthusiastic and quietly damning

😍 We all love a one-page summary, so here's one for our strategic direction to accompany @peterfrmills.bsky.social blog. www.phgfoundation.org/blog/policy-...
We're keen to hear the ambitions and views of others working at the science/health/policy interface, comments and DMs welcome.

Policy, governance, ethics: refreshing the PHG Foundation's strategic focus - PHG Foundation We want to make science work for health but we also want science that works for health. Here's how

We've set out our strategic direction and priorities for 2025-30 in a new @phgfoundation.bsky.social publication. In a related post I describe where I think efforts to 'make science work for health' have brought us and what PHG's role can be: www.phgfoundation.org/blog/policy-...

It's great to have published our strategic direction - lots to think about, lots to do! 👇

An excellent discussion exploring AI in health - so many contradictions to consider. 👇

Pioneering change: how pharmacogenomics is shaping healthcare - PHG Foundation Pharmacogenomics - tailoring drug treatments to individuals based on their genetics - is on the cusp of transforming drug prescribing

🌟 New Blog🌟
Pharmacogenomics is leading the way in how genomic information is being used in healthcare and could significantly impact how genomics is integrated across the entire healthcare system. www.phgfoundation.org/blog/pioneer...

AI - doing more with less in the NHS - PHG Foundation AI and its potential impact on genomics research and clinical practice was peppered throughout this year's Festival of Genomics
