Our July ‘Lunch & Learn’ webinar was ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Pharmacogenomics’, with Pharmacy Lead for the NEY GMS Emma Groves. You can catch up on the recording of the session, including a fantastic Q&A session below.
‘A beginner’s guide to pharmacogenomics’ explored how a person’s genomic information can impact how they respond to medicines.
The session will introduce you to key pharmacogenomics concepts, highlight ‘real-world’ examples in clinical practice and test your knowledge with interactive polls.
Learning Outcomes:
- Explain what pharmacogenomics is and current application in the NHS
- Identify future applications of pharmacogenomics
- Understand the barriers and enablers to the implementation pharmacogenomics the NHS
- Be prepared to start your pharmacogenomics journey and get ready to take action!
