What is a Genomic Ambassador?

A Genomic Ambassador champions and spreads the benefits of genomics within their organisation.

Their role is to:

  • Facilitate relationships and discussions with their peers and senior leadership within the Trust to integrate genomics into everyday practice.
  • Help us to evidence how genomics can contribute to improving patient outcomes, such as early detection and intervention by sharing with us how you use genomics in your own practice.
  • Promote relevant education and practice opportunities to nurses and midwives.
  • Share with us genomic questions and queries so that we can ensure we are supporting you and your colleagues.
