If you are an existing NHS employee in a recognised scientific specialty, you can apply to the STP through the 'in-service' route. Applications will open at 11am on Wednesday 5 March 2025. For information on how to apply, visit our website nshcs.hee.nhs.uk/programmes/stp…

My positions 🧵Which do you agree/disagree with? CLINICAL 1. No chance for anything that relies on continuity of care between hospitals. Record systems have silo'd design origins. Accessing data from different places is hard; updated interpretation based on new annotations =scif

With £1.4m funding from @NIHRresearch and the @UK_Life_Science, PALOH-UK will demonstrate at a larger scale, how the test can be used in a timely way to ensure babies get a safe, effective antibiotic without affecting normal clinical practice. 👇 research.cmft.nhs.uk/news-events/ge…

🗞️ A pioneering genetic test developed by @MFTnhs researchers, that could prevent critically ill newborn babies going deaf if treated with a commonly used antibiotic, is being trialled across 14 NHS specialist newborn units, in the new PALOH-UK study. 👇 research.cmft.nhs.uk/news-events/ge…

For now, we’re still active here, but we’ve also now established a profile on #BlueSky social. What was once known as ‘Science Twitter’ is gradually migrating to a new platform - and we want to be wherever the conversations are happening! Find us there! bsky.app/profile/nwglh.…

A recent study found that over 14,000 patients with cancer could have reduced risk of harmful side effects from cancer treatment by receiving a lower dose or a different drug. Learn more in the latest blog, linked below. ow.ly/TINQ50TZ9nn #Cancer #Pharmacogenomics

From our roots as a regional genetics lab, all of the many highly specialised tests we have been able to offer and now our repertoire within the National Genomics Testing Directory - amazing to see the population we've served represented by data in this way #Genomics #Tableau🧬🌍
