UK Government head-over-heels in love with gene therapy—will the path to truth love run smooth?
NHS staff are about to join the seduction
Still joining the dots up
In a recent update, the NHS was the focus of gene therapy and the ‘ATTC project’ was the subject.
ATTC stands for “Advanced Therapy Treatment Centres”. Its website explains the mission:
“The ATTC project aims to develop robust systems for the routine delivery of ATMPs as a standard of care throughout the NHS in the United Kingdom.”
It then goes on to say:
“Over the last five years, new cell and gene therapies have been developed to treat some cancers and inherited diseases. These advanced therapies are different from existing treatments in two important ways: they are designed to restore normal function, sometimes offering cures where an unmet medical need exists and they require new ways of working by the NHS.”
We also learn: “The CGT Catapult is playing a central coordination role for the network and provide support to manufacturing, supply chain logistics, regulatory affairs, clinical trial capability, R&D support and upskilling via specialist training and development.”
