Genomics Literacy Week Wales 2026
Think Genomics. Transform Care. Improve Lives.
From Monday 16 to Friday 20 November, we are hosting Genomics Literacy Week Wales 2026.
The week is an opportunity for NHS Wales colleagues to learn more about genomic healthcare and how it supports improved diagnosis, treatment and care for patients and families across all areas of clinical practice.
We will host a series of free webinars and share digital learning resources, case studies and examples of good practice to demonstrate the positive impact of genomics is already having across NHS Wales.
The full programme of webinars will be available on this webpage soon, so please check back for updates.
How can I get involved?
Whether you work in nursing, medicine, pharmacy, midwifery, allied health professions, healthcare science, public health, leadership, administration or support services, genomics is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday healthcare.
We’re inviting colleagues from across NHS Wales to take part in Genomics Literacy Week Wales to share how genomics is making a difference in their role, service or organisation.
You can contribute by:
- sharing a case study, video, blog or patient story (with consent)
- delivering an online presentation or webinar
- showcasing innovation and good practice
- sharing your experiences, insights or genomics learning journey
- helping to promote the week through your networks and social media channels.
You don’t need to be a genomics expert to take part. If you have a story, experience, idea or example of how genomic healthcare is supporting patients, families or communities, we’d love to hear from you.
If you would like to take part in Genomics Literacy Week Wales 2026, please contact heiw@wales.nhs.uk to discuss how you can get involved.
