As genetic and genomic medicine play an increasing role in improving health outcomes for people across the UK, education and knowledge about the application of genomics is also increasingly available.
Nurses, midwives, GPs, specialist clinicians, counsellors, scientists, and members of the public are encouraged to grow their literacy in genomics, and to this end, a range of training and resources are available in the East.
