For some people it might be the “right test at the right time”. But sometimes genomic sequencing will not be the best way to reach a diagnosis. So when is it most useful and what does your doctor consider before suggesting it? genomicsinfo.org.au/genomic-…
Well done @AusGenomics and the team who contributed to this important work – this tool encourages ongoing engagement with research participants, giving them more control over how their data is used
New @AusGenomics platform that gives research participants more choice and control has been featured in the @ejhg_journal! CTRL, as it is called, uses the principles of dynamic consent. Read the story at: australiangenomics.org.au/ne… and access paper here: doi.org/10.1038/s41431-020-0…
We’ve been working with Qld Health to prepare the #nursing and #midwifery workforce for #genomics healthcare. This includes 11 new genomics nursing positions in #Queensland in cancer, childhood immunology, infection control and cardiology @qldhealthnews bit.ly/3ssVBIi
It's been a year like no other, but in 2020 we made plenty of inroads to further embed #genomics into #healthcare in Queensland. Thank you to all our partners for helping to make it happen!
Queensland Genomics Cardiac #Genomics project is up and running! The first 2 patients have now received genomic testing via the Cardiac Genetics Clinic at @TPCHosp_Bris
Thanks to support from the Genomics Institute and the Statewide Cardiac Clinical Network
