The health of individuals is determined by their own genetic makeup combined with their lifestyles and environment. Genomics is the study of the body’s genes, their functions and their influence on the growth, development and working of the body. Analysing information about our genes and genome allows clinicians to determine an individual’s risk of developing disease, their response to infection (eg COVID), cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies, manage cardiovascular disease and personalise their healthcare.
Genetics is increasingly being recognised as a key measure in not only diagnosing ailments but also in devising more effective treatment options that are more ‘personalised’. The aims of this iBSc are aligned with those of the Health Education England Genomics Education Programme (see www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk). It will prepare medical school graduates to understand, and take full advantage of, new genetic and genomic diagnostic and treatment options, which are being developed by the NHS as a new core service provision for patients. The programme prepares students for pathways leading to consultant positions in Clinical or Medical Genetics.
