Proposed master’s level 15 credit module structure to train competent nurses and midwives in genomics. Unit 1 prepares nurses and midwives for developing their leadership, communication and train the trainer skills and behaviours, which support effective mainstreaming of genomics. This Unit also introduces the GMS structure and how genomics is delivered at local, regional, and national levels to enhance their overall organisational competence. Units 2-4 develop their genetics and genomics subject knowledge relevant for their profession. Unit 5 enhances their skills to communicate genomic aspects with their peers, patients, and their families. Some topics, which are used as case studies, and currently delivered as part of the GMS National Transformation Projects, are listed in dark grey rectangles, BRCA, Breast Cancer Gene; FH, Familial hypercholesterolaemia; DPYD, Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase; GMSA, Genomic Medicine Service Alliance. Assessments are aimed to test participants critical thinking, application, and implementation of the skills that they gain during the module. We propose that lectures are prerecorded and available online, these sessions are supported with online-live interactive tutorials and online discussion forums.
