Educational resources

Genomics educational resources are widely available online with links provided below. 

Please note the provision of genomics services differs between NHS Wales and NHS England.  The All Wales Genomics Service (https://medicalgenomicswales.co.uk/) provides genomic testing for Welsh patients whereas testing is provided via centralised Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs) in England. Therefore whilst the scientific content within the NHS England resources is relevant, information on the provision of genomics services and testing pathways is not applicable within Wales and should not be followed.
