One-day Genomics Primer course

Please see attached for an exciting opportunity to attend a one-day Genomics Primer course at the University of Southampton, in association with the Central and South Genomic Medicine Service Alliance.

This study day is specifically designed for Pharmacy staff and will take place on :

Date: Monday 27^th March 2023

Time: 09:00am to 5:30pm

Location: Building 100 at the University of Southampton Highfield Campus, SO17 1BJ

This course aims to give participants a grounding in the technology and application of genomic science, enabling them to appreciate the findings of genomic clinical reports and their impact on treatment, prognostics and family screening, and in particular the use of pharmacogenomics to facilitate drug choice, dose adjustment, and avoidance of adverse drug reactions.

This one-day course is sponsored by Health Education England South East, with course fee underwritten, and so free of charge to attendees.

Registration is open to pharmacy staff across the HEE South East region, with a limited number of places available.

Lunch is not provided, however there are facilities onsite to buy food and drink.  There is some pay and display parking available, or the site is accessible by a 20 min bus ride from Southampton Central railway station (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/transport/index.page).

The anticipation is that demand will be greater than places available, and therefore applications will be prioritised to those who can indicate how the knowledge gained from the course will be put into practice and/or disseminated.
