Genomics in Medical Specialties: Dermatology
Since 2020, genomic medicine for skin diseases has been mainstreamed in the UK so that phenotyping, diagnostic test selection and returning genomic test results are in the scope of routine dermatology care.
In this video, Professor Neil Rajan of Newcastle University discusses some of the ways in which genomics is currently being applied to improve health outcomes for patients presenting with skin conditions, and how dermatologists can build their genomics knowledge in order to further the cause of mainstreaming genomic medicine across the NHS.
NHS England's National Genomics Education programme is developing a substantial education programme to inform healthcare professionals about the impact of genomics on clinical practice. This video is the one of the many educational resources from the programme.
