Material Detail

Genetics and genomics is relevant and important to all healthcare professionals and their education must prepare them for this appropriately. For some health professionals, such as nurses, midwives and doctors in the UK, what this ‘education’ should include has already been identified in competency-based genetics/genomics competence-based frameworks and learning outcomes.

Of course, knowing what should be taught, or learned, is a helpful first step. But having resources that help the educator to facilitate, or the learner to acquire competence, is crucial. There are numerous resources available and other parts of this website are devoted to guiding you through some of these resources. What we aim to do in these pages however is to link the competency frameworks and learning outcomes directly to a resource that uses real-life stories to help promote understanding of genetics and genomics.
