The UK Medical Research Council promises that “Ultimately stratified medicine will ensure that the right patient gets the right treatment at the right time” and the Academy of Medical Sciences has argued that it will “revolutionise the treatment of disease”. We seek to expand this debate by moving beyond the narrow confines of biomarkers and genomics and exploring what genuinely patient-focussed stratified medicine might look like.
