Advanced Therapies are a rapidly evolving area of medicine that harness the power of genes, cells, and tissues to treat, manage, and potentially cure a range of diseases. These therapies, that are collectively referred to as Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) include: 

• gene therapies 

• somatic cell therapies 

• tissue-engineered products  

• combined ATMPs (where the therapy incorporates an integral medical device) 

Advanced Therapies represent a major shift towards precision medicine, offering the potential to transform outcomes for patients across a wide range of specialties. 

As this field continues to advance, it will increasingly shape how healthcare is delivered across NHS Wales. Realising this potential will require close collaboration between clinicians, scientists, educators, and policymakers to ensure these novel treatments are introduced safely, effectively, and equitably for all patients.
