Exploring the opportunities and challenges of direct-to-consumer medical testing

Join the Centre for Personalised Medicine (CPM), University of Oxford for a day-long symposium exploring the evolving landscape of direct-to-consumer (DTC) medical testing. Bringing together academic experts, clinicians, industry innovators, and regulatory professionals, this event will delve into the opportunities and challenges of DTC testing across hormone health, gut and nutrition, and its broader impact on patients and the NHS. The day will feature presentations and panel discussions, examining how these technologies are reshaping patient pathways, clinical practices, and professional relationships within healthcare. The programme also engages with the ethical, philosophical, and regulatory implications of DTC medical testing, asking critical questions about evidence, oversight, and responsibility in a rapidly changing health consumer market and its impacts on the NHS. With contributions from thought leaders across medicine, ethics, philosophy, regulation, and industry, this event provides a timely platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on one of the most pressing issues in modern healthcare.
