Guy's and St Thomas' Advanced Therapies Programme and the Patient Perspective

Join us for our seminar, Guy's and St Thomas' Advanced Therapies Programme and the Patient Perspective.

Advanced therapies are innovative treatments that use genes, cells or engineered tissues to treat, prevent or potentially cure diseases that can be difficult to manage with conventional medicines.

This seminar will provide an overview of the Trust's Advanced Therapies Programme, highlight recent progress and explore the experiences of patients receiving these treatments.
