SUMMARY:Genomics in Primary Care: What GPs need to know
DESCRIPTION:Genomic medicine has a significant impact within the field of primary care. Generally acting as the gateway to the NHS and specialised services\, primary care practitioners are crucial in the early identification of genetic conditions and in ensuring appropriate management of a range of conditions. \nGenomics features in everyday primary care practice in a range of ways: \n* Rare diseases are individually rare but collectively affect 1:17 families. GPs may have a caseload with a number of patients with the same rare disease within a family.\n* Most care for patients with genetic conditions is provided in the community. A patient’s genetic condition might influence your choice of commonly prescribed medications such as HRT or contraceptives.\n* Some common conditions have genetic susceptibility. Clinical Genetics only see the patients that GPs refer to them. As a GP you are in a unique position to suspect these diagnoses early and refer appropriately.\n* Patients with inherited cancer predisposition syndromes need regular screening to find cancer early and improve prognosis. You can encourage them to attend for this.\n* GPs can give preconception advice for families with known genetic conditions and encourage relatives to be tested to benefit from additional screening/treatment.\n* Genes influence the way that our bodies process medication. As more research emerges\, genetics is likely to influence our approach to prescribing in the future. This is already being seen in the prescription of clopidogrel to patients who have had a stroke. \nIn this informative webinar\, we’ll hear from a range of experts – from patients through to healthcare professionals – to examine the application of genomics within primary care and how it relates to your role.  \nRegister now to secure your place here\, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Recommendation Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Monday 23rd June 9.30 – 4pm at Edgbaston Park Hotel. LIMITED PLACES – reserve your spot now!\nWelcome to the IAG2 Face to Face Meeting!\nMedics for Rare Disease has a vision of healthcare equity for everyone. We have been working with the Department of Health and Social Care since 2018 in order to achieve our mission. \nOn 23rd June we are hosting a workshop in order to develop recommendations for the DoHSC about ‘healthcare professional awareness of rare disease’. \nWe will be asking…\nWhat is healthcare professional awareness?\nHow do we implement it throughout the NHS?\nHow do we measure it? \nIf you have practical ideas and suggestions that could inform these recommendations\, WE WANT YOU to join us on the day. \nWho do we want to attend:\nPeople who have practical ideas\nPeople who have experience of driving system change\nPeople who have experience developing services in the NHS\nPeople with experience designing and implementing e.g. Dementia Friendly Hospitals\nHealthcare professionals\, people who work in the NHS and advocates alike!\nThis project (‘IAG2’) is being run by Medics for Rare Disease and Emotive with support from collaborators on the UK Rare Diseases Framework Forum and has been approved by The Department of Health and Social Care. \nKeep in mind:\nWe are not responsible for implementing the recommendations\nThis will not be a forum for exploring single individual’s experiences\nThis will not be a forum for raising concerns or complaints about single cases of care \nMedics for Rare Disease – www.m4rd.org\nEmotive – https://emotiveagency.com \nReserve your place here
