Genomics Conversation Week 2025

With genomics a prominent part of the 10 Year Health Plan (opens in a new tab), 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 event will focus on creating connections in genomics. That might mean finding out how to get support in your genomics learning journey, exploring ways to delve into the subject with colleagues, or understanding how to talk about genomics with patients. Whatever your level of knowledge and experience, there is something for everyone.

Talking about genomics can seem daunting, but if you’re unsure about terms and what they mean, why not check the Genomics Glossary? (opens in a new tab)  You can also watch this video from the World Health Organisation for an overall look at what genomics is, and how it effects us all.

Remember, you don’t need to know everything about genomics, but the right level of knowledge and confidence can make a big difference in your practice.

So join us, and let’s talk genomics.
