“Genomics is the application of specific technologies to analyse genetic information about the entire genome.
greater ability to determine disease and risk and predispositionmore accurate diagnosisselect and prioritise treatment every branch of medicine
Moving ‘from bench to bedside’ and, as it does so, the potential for NHS-wide adoption and diffusion of genomic technology is becoming increasingly clear.“

Genomics in practice
www.hee.nhs.ukwww.hee.nhs.uk
The government has announced plans to sequence the full genomes of up to 100,000 NHS patients over the next 3-5 yearsThe initiative - led now by Genomics England - is aimed particularly towards cancer; rare inherited diseases and infectious diseases10 December 2012
6.2 Training Staff to work in the 21st Century NHS6.2.8. HEE will work with partners to develop a strategy for training and continuous professional development in genomics and genomic technology

HEE arrangements for genomics education and training• Professor Ian Cumming SRO and Professor Nicki Latham Deputy
SRO • High level strategic advisory board with first meeting on 8th
November where overall work programme will be agreed• HEWM leading on supporting the overall programme and its
implementation• Professor Sue Hill CSO overseeing the education and training
resource development working in conjunction with the National School for Healthcare Science (Val Davison and Angela Daly)
• National Genetics Education and Development Centre (funded by DH) integral part
• Close links with public health genomics for development of infectious diseases resources

Genomics education current position
• HEIs have been teaching and researching bioinformatics and genomics– there is little clinically relevant, specialty specific genomic education
curricula and teaching resources• Review of over 140 healthcare professional, medical and
scientist curricula found very limited evidence of core genomic knowledge and clinical and scientific application of genomics
• Very few CPD resources

Work in progress• Scientists Training Programme Genetics and Clinical Bioinformatics (MSC)• Integration of genomic education into all scientist training programmes at all staff
levels (practitioner – consultant )• Healthcare professional curricula review undertaken• Gap analysis being identified to guide resource development and CPD requirements• Education and training resource framework being developed to house educational
modules levelled to EQF• E-learning introductions being finalised, approx. EQF level 4; “Factual and theoretical
knowledge in broad contexts within a field of work or study”• Educational roadmap for integration of new knowledge for staff working in infectious
diseases being developed• Short DVD on role of genomics in clinical practice being scoped • Genomics education working and curricula review groups being established
