Strategic Workforce Plan for Genomics
In response to one of the key aims of the Genomic Delivery Plan for Wales, Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) in partnership with Genomics Partnership Wales (GPW) have developed a strategic workforce plan.
Genomics will play a significant role in the future delivery of healthcare helping us to understand more about illness and disease, and to be able to develop targeted approaches to treatment and patient management.
A key driver for the development of the plan is to ensure that we have a robust specialist workforce and infrastructure able to respond to the requirements set out within the national (UK) and Wales delivery programmes as well as a wider workforce with sufficient ‘genomic literacy’ to ensure that genomics can be effectively mainstreamed into service delivery.
