The topic of this year’s conference is ‘Population Genomic Screening – Exploring its Complexities’
This in-person event is for anyone working with or interested in genomics and genomic screening of diseases who want to explore the questions arising from modern genomic screening projects, for example:
- at the practical level, questions such as the significance of a particular finding in non-symptomatic people with no family history;
- on an ethical level, questions such as informed consent and long-term data storage;
- financial questions, such as the true cost to health services beyond the screening process; and
- the ultimate impact of a positive screening result on individuals and families.
This conference draw evidence from real-life programmes to help frame the issues involved. For more information on this event, including how to register, please visit its webpage or contact the event’s hosts, Adelphi Genetics Forum.
