Episode notes

In this episode, RPS English Pharmacy Board member Ciara Duffy talks to Anne Black, of NHS England’s Specialist Pharmacy Service, and Dave Caulfield, Assistant Director of Pharmacy – Quality Assurance at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust. They look at the remarkable promise of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).

The three basic types of ATMP are: gene therapies (to treat genetic disorders, cancer or long-term diseases), somatic-cell therapies (to treat, diagnose or prevent diseases), and tissue-engineered medicines (to repair, regenerate or replace human tissue).
