Get ready for a national week of action to get healthcare professionals talking about genomics
The #GenomicsConversation takes place annually and, in collaboration with Genomic Medicine Service Alliances across the country, it features a host of fun, engaging activities for healthcare professionals. The overall goal for the week is to spark a conversation about genomics and increase familiarity with the topic across the NHS workforce. This year’s theme is ‘Creating connections’. You can find out more about it, and our previous campaigns, below.
With genomics a prominent part of the 10 Year Health Plan, it has never been more important for healthcare professionals to be able to talk confidently about genomics and signpost patients to relevant information and services.
This year, the week takes place on Monday 3 to Friday 7 November, and will feature a range of free activities designed to enlighten, inform and educate. Follow the #GenomicsConversationn hashtag on social media for details of events, podcasts, courses and resources and much more.
