Today's jam packed #NHSGenomics22 provided moments to reflect on playing my small part in the #genomics story. (Thankfully) not quite the 5 decades mentioned by @JackieDanielNHS but coming #fullcircle

Almost 20yrs since the UK Competencies in Genomics were established for #nuses #midwives & #healthvisitors. Updated once, this work is important. How #genomics is being used in the #NHS is expanding all the time. We need Competencies that reflect current practice @USWResearch

Really great meeting yesterday - thanks 🙏 to all involved in this work to date. @EdGenomesEdu @genomicsedu and I will now pull this all together before we go out to consultation. Watch this space 👀
