Join our national Lunch & Learn series

Genomics is transforming healthcare - and it’s no longer a niche subject. From diagnosis to personalised treatment, genomic knowledge is becoming essential across all clinical roles.

Who are these sessions for?

The 7 regional Genomic Medicine Services have come together to deliver a national series of engaging, accessible and short Lunch & Learn webinars throughout 2025

The webinars are aimed at anyone in a healthcare role — nurses, doctors, AHPs, pharmacists, midwives, and all healthcare professionals with an interest in knowing more about genomics and its relevancy to their clinical practice.

The series has been designed and developed by healthcare professionals, for healthcare professionals.
