PRECISE Genomics in Primary Care

On this platform you will find CPD-accredited learning opportunities, including interactive webinars, online case scenarios, podcasts and audits, as well as a range of practical tools and information to support shared decision-making within your practice setting. 

PRECISE is an initiative funded by the Medical Research Futures Fund through their Genomics Health Futures Mission. This project is in partnership with the RACGP, ACRRM, NSW Health, WentWest, Western NSW PHN, HealthPathways, Medcast, Australian Genomics, HETI (Centre for Genetics Education) and the University of Sydney.

Why should GPs learn about genetics and genomics? 

Genetics is the study of individual genes and their roles in inheritance, while genomics involves the study of all of a person's genes (the genome) and how they interact with each other and the environment. Understanding genetics and genomics is crucial for GPs because it enables them to provide personalized care, identify genetic risks, and guide patients through genetic testing and management, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
