The Genomics Education course is a comprehensive collection of online courses designed to support and educate healthcare professionals about genomic medicine and its profound benefits to patient care. As genomics increasingly becomes a part of routine healthcare, it is essential for all professionals, not just those in specialist departments, to understand its impact on diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide variety of conditions. This engaging and interactive course is available to healthcare practitioners globally, providing essential knowledge and skills for the modern healthcare environment.
Developed by NHS England e-learning for healthcare in partnership with the Genomics Education course, the University of Liverpool, and Liverpool Women’s NHS Foundation Trust, this course ensures the highest training standards and offers a world-class e-learning experience. The content is designed to fit seamlessly into busy schedules, allowing professionals to study at home, at work, or on the move. Bitesize modules track progress, making it easy to dip in and out of sessions as needed.
The Genomics Education course consists of several modules, each divided into smaller sessions designed for focused learning. The curriculum covers a wide array of topics to provide a thorough understanding of genomics. The Genomics 101 module introduces genomics in healthcare, explores genes to genomes, and teaches how to talk about and draw a genetic family history, covering concepts like dominant and recessive genes and beyond. The Facilitating Genomics Testing module guides healthcare professionals on how to effectively implement and facilitate genomic testing. The Masterclass in Genomics in Healthcare offers advanced insights into the applications of genomics in healthcare, and the Patient Choice and Genome Sequencing module discusses the implications of genome sequencing for patient choice and care.
This comprehensive approach ensures that participants gain a deep understanding of both the fundamental and advanced aspects of genomic medicine, equipping them with the necessary skills to integrate genomics into everyday clinical practice effectively.
