Tackling health inequalities in genomics

What are we trying to do?

We’re bringing healthcare professionals, people with lived experience and academics together to address health inequalities in genomics.

Why is this important?

Genomic inequity is a well documented issue, but one that has yet to be resolved. We, together with colleagues from University of Oxford Centre for Personalised Medicine and Central & South Genomics Medicine Service, have been commissioned by the Race & Health Observatory to bring a wide range of people, experiences and points of view together to seek a way forward.

How can I get involved?

We’re offering you a chance to be part of a pioneering group of healthcare professionals and academics that is at the forefront of genomics to begin tackling health inequalities together. We aim to deliver networking events, share learnings and publish an open access, single resource of completed projects for everyone to use and benefit from.

Get involved : do you have research that you can share?

If you have conducted, or are conducting work on quality improvement, service evaluations or projects that looks at inequalities accessing genomic medicine services, please get in touch. We can connect you with others to that you can collaborate and learn about similar projects.
