The MSt in Genomic Medicine is part of the suite of postgraduate courses in Genomic Medicine and designed to educate suitably qualified NHS healthcare professionals from across the multi-professional team to prepare for the future adoption of genomic technologies and the increasing use of genomic information as part of the diagnostic and treatment pathway. The 30 hour face-to-face teaching on the Counselling module covered lectures on social, counselling, ethical and legal issues relating to genomic testing and how to discuss these effectively with patients.

A series of short instructional videos were also produced by Society and Ethics Research to accompany the course. Click here to open a new window where these videos can be watched and downloaded.
