Already work in healthcare? Study our PgCert to explore counselling skills, human genetics, disease and issues in genomics.

Every individual is unique – our genomes and the way they respond to disease is different. By understanding what’s going on in our bodies, we can work towards a future where healthcare is personalised, and patients' needs are targeted more effectively. Genomics is evolving rapidly and making an impact across numerous disciplines.

St George’s is part of the South East Genomic Laboratory Hub. This is one of the largest providers of genomic testing in the UK and a national centre for specialist testing for haematology, respiratory, skin conditions, and more.
