Valuation and Evaluation of Genetics Services
Nowgen combines expertise from health economics, primary care R&D, the patient community and clinical and laboratory genetics services to develop useful and accurate tools to measure and value outcomes. We examine new ways of delivering services in the primary and secondary care settings, as genetics knowledge impacts on medical care. In addition, we are partners in a multidisciplinary research team on a Department of Health-funded pharmacogenetics project.
