We’re hitting the road with our Genomics Roadshow!

Genomics and genomic medicine are being mainstreamed, shaping patient care for the population of the North West.  As your North West Genomic Medicine Service Alliance, we are working with professionals across the region, to support the process of embedding genomics into routine healthcare.

Since Feb 2023, we have been 'hitting the road' with our Genomics Roadshow, travelling across the region to meet with professionals to discuss genomics and highlight where genomics is already being used within healthcare.

GM GR side image.jpgThe roadshows are normally 2.5 hours in length, typically starting at 09:30 am until 12:00 noon, and provide an opportunity to listen to keynote speakers, from the region to learn more about the relevancy of genomics and genomic medicine, throughout a patient’s journey from primary care, via pathology, to pharmacy, and beyond. 

Attendees can join at whatever point is of most interest to them, as each roadshow has a networking marketplace, where attendees can meet and chat with members of our team, speakers, fellow professionals, and other Alliance stakeholders.

Each event is recorded and available by clicking on the appropriate link below.
