Title:

[Migrated] Genomics in Clinical Practice: A work-based learning module

Description:

Increasingly, genomic technologies are being utilised in the NHS to predict and diagnose inherited and acquired disease and to personalise treatments and interventions.

This e-learning programme is aimed at healthcare professionals working with patients with rare diseases who are wanting to understand and integrate genomic healthcare into clinical practice.

Content in the e-learning programme is based on the genomic competencies outlined in:
• “Fit for Practice in the Genetics/Genomics Era: a revised competency-based framework with learning outcomes and Practice indicators. A guide for nurse education and training” (Kirk et al 2011)
• Health Education England’s (HEE) “New competency framework for genomic testing” (2019).

For nurses and midwives, Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) standard reflection documentation is provided, so that learning can be documented to help demonstrate competency for Nursing and Midwifery revalidation.

Other healthcare professionals are encouraged to use their professional documentation.

This e-learning programme can be worked through at an individual’s own pace and sections can be navigated through freely, allowing content to be revisited at any time. Reflection on learning and consideration the implications on clinical practice is requested at regular intervals throughout the programme through quizzes and assessments.
