SUMMARY:Understanding ME/CFS\, symptom crossover with hEDS/HSD and implications for Long Covid
DESCRIPTION:Dr Sue Pemberton PhD is a qualified occupational therapist who was involved in setting up the Leeds based Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Service in 1990\, one of the first NHS clinics specifically for the condition. She wrote the original therapy programme and worked clinically with the service for over 22 years\, in addition to holding a number of management positions within the NHS. \nSue has co-authored the self-help manual Fighting Fatigue: a practical guide to managing the symptoms of CFS/ME\, Hammersmith Press and contributed to the British Association for CFS/ME Therapists Manual. \nSue will explore the implications of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid

SUMMARY:Get Started with Genomics CPD Course
DESCRIPTION:The implementation of next-generation sequencing technologies has enabled genomics to become a mainstream subject in medicine. The UK has now adopted Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in clinical practice\, and the use of genomic sequencing technologies in healthcare has become widespread across many countries. Healthcare professionals across the world need the skills to understand genomics and what it means for their patients. \nThis course will provide participants with the basic principles of genomic medicine. The content will include the distinction between genetics and genomics and a focus on understanding the different modes of inheritance. With a focus on practical case studies and a workshop-style of delivery\, the course will offer the opportunity to engage with academics and fellow participants and build collaborative networks. \nCourse Leads\nProfessor Anna Murray – Associate Professor in Human Genetics\nDr Julia Baptista – Lecturer in Clinical Education\nSee the Speakers page for the full faculty list. \nDelivery Dates and Format\nThe course will be delivered on 24th and 25th Nov 2022 in a hybrid format (virtually and in-person at the University of Exeter) \nWho is it for?\nThe course is aimed at clinicians and other healthcare professionals who need an introductory course in genomics. This course would be an ideal access course for those wishing to pursue further studies\, in particular the MSc in Genomic Medicine. \nLearning Outcomes\nAt the end of the course the learner will be expected to be able to: \n\nDefine the key concepts of genetics and genomics\nUnderstand the main approaches to genomic testing and principles of variant classification\nUnderstand the main modes of inheritance in humans (autosomal dominant\, autosomal recessive\, X-linked\, and mitochondrial) and recognise their characteristic features and patterns\nUnderstand that genetic disorders might be inherited from an affected parent\, an unaffected parent\, both unaffected parents or arise spontaneously\nApply the knowledge of mode of inheritance in the context of a clinical report and the given family scenario\nBecome familiar with the basics of genome browsers to view gene information and interpret genomic information in clinical reports\n\nCertificate and Accreditation\nParticipants will receive a certificate of participation including both CPD points applied for through the Royal College of Physicians and learning outcomes\, which can be used towards your own professional development. \nFor more details about the course including fees and delivery see the course details page.
