Genomics Specialist Careers: Meet the Genomic Scientists

Scientists bring expert knowledge and skills to the genomics team. They are vital to the provision of genomic medicine in a number of ways: • Ensuring that patients benefit from the most relevant tests that are most likely to inform their clinical management. • Correctly handling and processing samples, which in the case of genomic medicine involves extracting DNA from samples and the specialist operation of a range of apparatus and testing platforms. • Interpreting the results from testing (most often done in collaboration with medics and other scientists) to decide the right course of action for each patient and their family members. In this film, we hear more about the role of scientists from: • Professor Sian Ellard OBE, consultant clinical scientist (working in rare disease), South West NHS Genomics Laboratory Hub; • Professor Rachel Butler MBE, consultant clinical scientist (working in cancer), South West NHS Genomics Laboratory Hub; • Ronnie Wright, clinical scientist (working in rare disease), North West Genomics Laboratory Hub; • Jake Miller, senior genetic technologist, North West Genomics Laboratory Hub; and • Djemilah Gordon, trainee clinical scientist (working in cancer), Wessex and West Midlands Genomics Laboratory Hub. Our experts outline the role of the healthcare scientists in genomics, who fall into two distinct categories: the clinical scientists and the genetic technologists. Genetic technologists are responsible for the handling and processing of all different kinds of samples, for example blood, sputum or tumour, and for running a variety of genomic tests in the laboratory. Clinical Scientists, on the other hand, are office based and spend most of their time at computers or in meetings with other scientists, medics and healthcare professionals. They bring expert knowledge of genomic science, enabling them to make decisions regarding appropriate tests, and they are integral to the interpretation of often complex test results. Health Education England's 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. For more information visit https://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk
