Clinical Bioinformatics Genomics – Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust
As an STP trainee in Clinical Bioinformatics in Birmingham, you can expect a mix of on-site and remote working throughout all three training phases.
Phase 1 is delivered through a combination of in person and remote activity. In person elements often take place in longer blocks of a week or more. If you plan to commute, please be aware that you may be expected to attend on site for sustained periods. It is common to spend several weeks working entirely from home, followed by several weeks fully on site.
Phases 2 and 3 usually allow some flexibility for remote working depending on service needs and discussions with the Bioinformatics Training Officer. You should still be prepared to attend on site whenever required.

Clinical Bioinformatics 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 may 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.

Clinical Bioinformatics Genomics – Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
The Genomics Laboratory at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is at the forefront of NHS Genomic Medicine, providing state-of-the-art diagnostic testing for rare diseases and the national NHS rapid whole genome sequencing service for acutely unwell babies. The team works with internationally acclaimed researchers in genetics of diabetes and hyperinsulinism, providing a range of specialist tests throughout the world. The laboratory works in partnership with the Bristol Genetics Laboratory as the South West Genomic Laboratory Hub, with the Exeter Laboratory focused on specialist endocrine services and exome/genome analysis. Workplace training is largely delivered at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital but some training will be delivered by our partner laboratory requiring some travel to Bristol.
The Exeter Genomics laboratory is set in the beautiful cathedral city of Exeter, in the midst of glorious Devon countryside and close to the South West coastline with its stunning beaches.

Clinical Bioinformatics 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.
