PgCert in Haematology Genomics
Programme aim
This programme aims to upskill the existing workforce by providing knowledge and clinical skills in genomics and haematology. The programme has been designed to increase the flexibility of the workforce (Clinical Scientists, Biomedical Scientists and Genetic Technologists) within genomic laboratory hubs (GLHs), local genomics laboratories (LGL) and the non-Genomic sections within the specialist integrated haematological malignancy diagnostic services (SIHMDS).
