Abstract: 
This paper picks up on ideas surfaced in our recent Lancet Respiratory editorial (Britten, Pope, Halford, Richeldi 2016) about stratified medicine. This innovation - given various names, including 'precision' and 'personalised', and 'patient-centred' medicine - is the targeting of medicines and other interventions according to the biological characteristics of subgroups of patients. Such targeting is seen as offering the chance to revolutionise health interventions. However, much of the debate, and the science, in this space thus far has had a very narrow focus on biomedical and genetic contributions. Here I suggest that we need to take broader, more sociologically informed, view and one that puts patient experience and needs at its centre.
