Navigating the Ethical Issues Genomics Raises for Patients, Families and Professionals

16:05 - 17:05 on Day 2, Thursday 30th January 2025 in the Genome Dome

This interactive panel discussion with audience participation will provide an opportunity to find out more about the ethical issues which genomics raises for patients, families, healthcare professionals, scientists and researchers, to learn from real-life situations and to share good practices.

Engaging in discussions about ethical issues will enable participants to draw on their existing skills, knowledge and experience and to explore different perspectives and approaches. Learning from real-life situations and sharing good practices will help participants develop the confidence to identify and manage ethical issues related to genomics in their own practice.
