Genomic medicine is revolutionising the fields of oncology, pharmacy, rare disorders, mental health and infectious diseases.

Research continues at a rapid pace to develop a better understanding of the relationship between our genes and our health.

Genomics increasingly informs the health care we provide to our patients, and as a healthcare professional you are increasingly likely to talk to your patients and their families about genomics. With the growth of precision medicine made possible, in part, by the study of genomics, it’s more important than ever to inform your understanding of how genomic medicine is impacting your area of clinical practice.

These accessible standalone modules are available to NHS Wales staff. Full tuition fee funding is available from Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) for up to two modules per individual. Each module is worth 20 credits and will be delivered in partnership with the All Wales Medical Genomics Service (AWMGS), Wales Gene Park (WGP) and NHS Wales.

Flexible online delivery

These are interprofessional e-learning programmes. The online format means you can study flexibly, to account for your current commitments. Your online study will be enhanced by interactive features including discussion boards, recordings and a virtual classroom for live online sessions or personal tutor meetings.
