The HEE Genomics Education Programme facilitates online courses and e-learning modules for the public and NHS employees. Many are free, and some are accompanied by continuing professional development (CPD) credits. Courses include:

  • Genomics in Healthcare
  • Public Health Masterclass in Genomics
  • Tumour Assessment for Whole Genome Sequencing
  • Whole Genome Sequencing: Decoding the Language of Life and Health
  • Sample Processing and DNA Extraction
  • Introduction to Bioinformatics

Wellcome Genome Campus online courses

The Wellcome Genome Campus offers free online courses on genetics and genomics. Themes include:

  • Bacterial Genomes: Accessing and Analysing Microbial Genome Data
  • What is Genetic Counselling?
  • Bacterial Genomes: Disease Outbreaks and Antimicrobial Resistance
  • Bacterial Genomes: Comparative Genomics, ARTEMIS and ACT

Future Learn MOOCs

The Future Learn massive open online course (MOOC) platform offers online courses from a host of esteemed UK partners. Many courses are free, and can be taken by professionals or interested public:

  • Health Education England: Whole Genome Sequencing – Decoding the Language of Life and Health
  • University of Exeter: Genomic Medicine – Transforming Patient Care in Diabetes
  • St George’s University of London: The Genomics Era – the Future of Genetics in Medicine
  • St George’s University of London: Genomics in Healthcare
  • University of East Anglia: Using Personalised Medicine and Pharmacogenetics

European Bioinformatics Institute

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is part of EMBL, Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences. The institute offers regular online training modules, on themes that include:

  • Bioinformatics for the terrified
  • Biomedical data: Ethical, legal and social implications
  • Exploring human genetic variation

Online Postgraduate Courses

Within the East of England, please see the Cambridge Genomic Medicine Programme and Courses for CPPD for taught postgraduate training in genomic and genetic medicine.

Taught (in-class) postgraduate courses in genomic medicine are also available elsewhere across the UK. Additionally, the following courses are available through online (distance learning) delivery:

  • Asymptomatic screening and genome sequencing help Cambridge understand spread of SARS-CoV-2 among its students January 11, 2021
    Initial results suggest that the screening programme, together with the University’s public health measures and responsible student behaviour, has helped limit the spread of the virus. Now, the team running the programme has joined up with researchers at the COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK) to track how infections spread among the student population. They have shown how […]
  • Cambridge-led SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance consortium receives £12.2 million November 16, 2020
    The additional investment will enable COG-UK to grow and strengthen current genomic surveillance efforts spearheaded by the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge, together with the four UK Public Health Agencies and other COG-UK partners, with the aim of increasing sequencing capacity across the national network and reducing turnaround time from patient sample […]
  • Drug-resistant hospital bacteria persist even after deep cleaning, genomic study reveals October 26, 2020
    Enterococcus faecium is a bacterium commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract, where it usually resides without causing the host problems. However, in immunocompromised patients, it can lead to potentially life-threatening infection. Over the last three decades, strains have emerged that are resistant to frontline antibiotics including ampicillin and vancomycin, limiting treatment options – and particularly […]
