Cancer Genomics – Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
As an STP trainee in Cancer Genomics in Birmingham, you can expect a mix of on‑site and remote working across the three training phases.
Phase 1 includes both in‑person and remote activity. It also has a longer consolidation period than other specialisms, during which you may be asked to work from home. If you prefer to work on site, a desk can be arranged at any point. Two Phase 1 modules are delivered by partner trusts. These usually take place in Birmingham, but may occasionally be held elsewhere in the West Midlands depending on availability.
Phases 2 and 3 are mainly delivered on-site and in person in Birmingham with some elements delivered in our partner GLH laboratories.

Cancer Genomics – Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust
Oxford Genetics Laboratory is based at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford and is part of the Central and South GLH. Where training is delivered in one of the Oxford Trust Hospitals there are good transport links but also each hospital providing training is within walking distance of each other. A proportion of specialist training will be delivered at one of the other laboratories in the GLH and therefore travel will be expected, timings of these visits will be communicated once in post but there is some flexibility.
Although the laboratory supports working from home, trainees are expected to be on site for >=75% of their working week to maximise the benefit of training delivery.

Cancer Genomics – Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
The Leeds, Newcastle and Sheffield genetics laboratories work in a collaborative as the North-East and Yorkshire Genomic Laboratory Hub (NEY GLH). Our NEY GLH sites are accredited as an STP training Consortium, however trainees will be employed by and based at their home Trust. Elements of training will be delivered across our sites and whilst much of this training has been successfully transferred to remote delivery it will be necessary for trainees to spend time at our partner organisations during their period of training, to receive a complete programme of education and development. This is built into training plans which will be clearly developed and communicated with trainees and supported by the NEY GLH training group. We have consolidated our wet laboratory testing activity into two sites (Leeds and Newcastle). Scientific analysis and reporting activity will continue in Sheffield, which is our main centre for specialised rare disease service delivery.
