Recent advances in genomics mean that increasing numbers of children and their families can benefit from genomic testing. Paediatricians need a broad understanding of genomics to ensure that their patients have access to genomic tests at the right time.
In this film, consultant neonatologist Dr Ngozi Edi-Osagie talks about why genomics matters in paediatrics, how it can be applied in a paediatrician's day-to-day clinical practice, and how paediatricians can play a part in the development of genomic medicine across the NHS.
