'The Road to Genome' is a new podcast series from the North East & Yorkshire Genomic Medicine Service (NEY GMS) that provides an exciting new opportunity to engage healthcare professionals from across the NHS on a journey of discovery in the fast-moving, innovative field of genomic medicine. Selected guests will share their own personal stories and experiences and inspire others to get involved.
In this series, we’ll talk to healthcare professionals and experts in the field to understand more of the science behind genomics. We’ll also be talking about their personal journeys and the different – sometimes unusual – paths they’ve taken during their careers.
And, most importantly, we’ll gain insights into the emotional rollercoaster experienced by patients undergoing genetic testing, diagnosis and treatment.
