Certificate of Achievement
Assem Mohammed Abdulhalim Fadl
has completed the following course:
Genomics in the NHS: A Clinician's Guide to Genomic Testing for Rare Disease
NHS England and St George's, University of London
This online course explored the different types of genomic testing for rare disease, from single gene tests to whole genome sequencing, and walked through the application of this testing in clinical practice. It introduced what rare disease is, and what it means for patients and families, the changing healthcare landscape, the genomic medicine structure within the NHS, and the rare disease pathway - including how to navigate the test directory, consent and forms.
2 weeks, 3 hours per week

Transcript
Learning outcomes
- Summarise the prevalence and variability of rare disease in the UK – and where genomics may be relevant.
- Evaluate the changing healthcare landscape in terms of the infrastructure surrounding, and democratisation of, genomic testing.
- Identify when genomic investigations may benefit your patients.
- Explain the scope of genomic tests on offer in the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, including when key tests may be used.
- Navigate the National Genomic Test Directory and NHS GMS Signed Off Panels Resource to apply the most relevant genomic test(s) to your clinical case.
- Identify and order the relevant genomic test(s) for your patient(s), using the correct forms and providing the correct samples.
- Confidently interpret and act on genomic test reports you may receive from the laboratory, considering action for the whole family as well as the individual patient.
