The Genomics Training Academy (GTAC) is pleased to offer ‘Collaborate: A Clinical Laboratory Education Initiative’. This recurring CPD webinar series aims to bring together the NHS’s specialist genomics workforce to address real clinical challenges.

The key aims of Collaborate are to support genomics professionals to:

  • learn about genomic conditions and how they are diagnosed;
  • understand the wider context of their roles within a clinical pathway;
  • recognise and respect others’ contributions to the stages in the pathway; and
  • build a community of interprofessional learning.

Collaborate is open to all NHS specialist genomic workforce groups, including genetic counsellors, clinical geneticists, and Genomic Laboratory Hub staff, at all career stages.

The next Collaborate session will be on Wednesday 5 March 2025 at 1pm. Registration will be available a few weeks before the event.

Each 60-minute session features a brief case presentation, followed by a 30-minute look at the specific genomic technology, how the data is analysed and reported, and how the results affect patient management. It concludes with time for questions and discussion. Collaborate webinars are also recorded for asynchronous access, allowing participants to revisit the material at their convenience.

When and where

Collaborate sessions are held online on Wednesdays throughout the year. The date of the next webinar is Wednesday 5 March 2025 at 1pm.
