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.
  • Provide evidence of how genomics can contribute to improving patient outcomes, such as early detection and intervention.
  • Promote relevant education and practice opportunities to nurses and midwives.
  • Collect genomic queries to feedback to the South East Genomics Medicine Service.

Genomics is a rapidly evolving discipline; by being a Genomic Ambassador you will be:

  • At the forefront of new developments and technologies, which will help advance your knowledge and empower the workforce.
  • Supporting your community to access latest evidence-based practice by promoting equitable access to genomic healthcare.
  • Helping to reduce healthcare costs by diagnosing diseases earlier, reducing adverse events and improving access to preventative medicine.
  • Part of a network with like-minded peers who support and encourage your professional growth by sharing knowledge in a discipline you are passionate about.
