More about this course
  • Genomics is an ever-developing area of healthcare, and genetic tests are being mainstreamed, becoming more accessible than ever before. That's why it's important for professionals providing primary and secondary care to understand genetic inheritance so they can provide appropriate quality of care to their patients.
  • On this two-week course, you'll learn about the different types of genetic inheritance, delving deeper into Mendelian inheritance and its potential deviations. There will be a focus on genomics in the pregnancy pathway, providing a practical guide for midwives and other practitioners delivering maternity care.
  • An important part of recognizing inherited disorders is in taking family histories and drawing family trees. You'll learn key principles for taking family and patient history, then use those skills to gain practical experience in drawing pedigrees.
  • Using case examples, you'll look at how you can improve care pathways and referrals, specifically throughout pregnancy care. You'll also have the opportunity to discuss current ethical issues in genetic testing, such as the ethical implications of offering genetic testing, and how genetic testing could be mainstreamed into maternity services.
  • With clinicians at the forefront of providing clinical genomic services, The South East Genomic Medicines Service Alliance (GMSA) has specialist expertise and understanding in genomics, in particular workforce training and education.
