Every individual patient is unique. Therefore, the theme of the 29th edition of ISCOMS is Personalised Medicine. Personalised Medicine refers to a medical model that uses individual phenotypic and genotypic characteristics to choose a balanced therapeutic strategy specific to the patient.
Healthcare continues to innovate and new tailor made diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are being developed. As a result, healthcare is becoming increasingly personalised. Personalised Medicine can be found in all areas of healthcare, both diagnostic and therapeutic. In addition, in the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) shared decision making is one of the most important aspects of healthcare. The choice of treatment is hereby made by the specialist and the patient together. In this way the patient participates in the decision making of the following treatment. As a result, each patient is treated in the best way possible.
During the three days of the congress, the theme will be visible in various parts of the congress.
