Benefits of attending
As genomics moves beyond specialist services into population health, prevention, earlier diagnosis and personalised care, the challenge for the NHS is increasingly how to translate its potential into routine practice. The HSJ Genomics Forum brings together leaders from across genomics, cancer, diagnostics, primary care, ICBs and the wider NHS to tackle the practical questions that will determine what happens next.
This is your opportunity to join senior stakeholders from across the genomic pathway in one room - to understand national direction, learn from emerging approaches and work through the challenges of delivering genomics at greater scale.
Why attend?
- Access content carefully curated by HSJ around the challenges facing NHS leaders: Every session is shaped by independent research with the NHS, focusing on the questions leaders need answered - from population health and case finding to testing capacity, data, workforce, commissioning and adoption.
- Connect the different parts of the genomic pathway: Meet senior leaders from genomic medicine services, genomic laboratory hubs, ICBs, trusts, primary care, cancer, diagnostics and national bodies - creating conversations that rarely happen in one room.
- Explore how genomics moves from ambition to routine care: Hear how organisations are approaching case finding, testing, risk stratification, pharmacogenomics and personalised treatment, and examine what is needed to embed successful approaches into everyday NHS pathways.
- Engage directly with national and system leaders: Hear the latest thinking on the future direction of NHS genomics and contribute to discussion around the policy, commissioning, infrastructure and delivery decisions that will shape its next phase.
- Work through the practical barriers to scaling genomics: Interactive discussions give you the opportunity to explore shared challenges with peers – including laboratory capacity, data integration, workforce, reimbursement, patient involvement and bringing testing closer to patients.
- Leave with ideas you can apply locally: Take away practical insight, examples and connections that can help you develop genomic pathways, build the case for adoption and translate genomic insight into better outcomes for your population.
