Citizens, Your Health, Your Health Data, Genomics and the Future

On 24th June 2011, patients, clinicians and managers from Tameside & Glossop and further afield came together to discuss the importance of our health, our data, genomics and the future. Hosted by Manor House Patient Participation Group and Haughton Thornley Patient Participation Group in Glossop, the meeting was an opportunity for us to understand the issues in a relaxed atmosphere.
