| Details: | Intensive two-part course Closing date for registrations: 8 September 2005 Part 1: 29 November - 2 December 2005 Part 2: 21-23 March 2006 Advances in genetics have the potential to revolutionise health care. How can you be prepared for the challenges this will bring for * the future development of genetic services, * the implementation of genetic science in other clinical specialties, * the funding of the health service, * the role of pharmacogenetics in health care, * the education and training of health professionals, * the development of policy on the storage, protection and use of genetic information? The course Genetics and Health Policy has been established to provide a forum in which a small group of participants can address these issues. Led by a teaching faculty of distinguished clinicians and academics from a variety of disciplines, delegates will have unparalleled access to essential information and expertise to equip them to participate in shaping the policy agenda for genetics in the coming years. Part 1 This 3-day module begins on the evening of Tuesday 29 November and runs until lunch time on Friday 2 December. Delegates will gain a comprehensive grounding in "the new genetics", its clinical, ethical, legal and social dimensions and its implications for policy development Part 2 This module (evening of Tuesday 21 March until the afternoon of Thursday 23 March 2006) widens the view to encompass the impact of the human genome project and bioinformatics on health care, and the development of new genetically-based technologies. |
