The NHS Research Scotland (NRS) Genetics and Rare Diseases Specialty Group and the Scottish Clinical Genomics Forum are hosting an in-person event, free for academic, clinical, government and third-sector colleagues at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer (IGC) in Edinburgh, Wednesday 20 May

This event is particularly aimed at members of the Scottish Clinical Genomics community, including Genetic Counsellors and Clinical Geneticists, Trainees/Residents, Nurses and Laboratory Staff and the Scottish genomic research community.

We will be showcasing patient-focussed research and development in the field of genomics in Scotland, discussing the changes in genetic testing on both Laboratory and Clinical Genetics Practice across Scotland and how we can collaborate to maintain the best service for our patients. Our speakers and delegates are from within NHS Scotland Services and will be reporting back on experience in all four Genetics Services and Laboratories and sharing new ways of working in Clinical Genetics to manage increased patient referrals.

We also expect an update from the Scottish Strategic Network for Genomic Medicine.
