Genomics training

DNA strands

The 100,000 Genomes Project has the potential to change clinical practice, bringing benefits to patients across the region and creating a legacy which embeds genomics in healthcare. West Midlands is the largest genomic medicine centre taking part in the 100,000 Genomes Project and comprises a consortium of 18 trusts across the region.

A genomics education and training programme has been established at the BHP Institute of Translational Medicine to support the delivery of the project and provide genomics education and training. This includes a suite of educational programmes to prepare staff to work with the 100,000 Genomes Project and embed genomics knowledge through all NHS professional groups.
