In this first episode of our new season, Helen Bethell is at the School of Clinical Medicine, Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, talking to Eddie Blair, Vice-Chair of the Patient & Public Voice Forum for the East Genomic Medicine Service.

Eddie shares his career journey through microbiology and virology, along with his experience as a genomic patient. Having received a diagnosis of prostate cancer, Eddie shares his perspective on the genomic world from both a professional and personal angle.

In this episode of The Road to Genome, we interview Rebecca Middleton at Leicester Royal Infirmary. Rebecca talks to us about her experience as a patient with a hereditary brain aneurysm, through the diagnosis and treatment, and the rollercoaster of emotions this brings.

She also tells us about Hereditary Brain Aneurysm Support, an organisation Rebecca set up to support and inform people living with familial brain aneurysms and raise awareness of the condition as a rare disease, representing the lived experience and improving and saving lives.

In this episode of The Road to Genome, Dr Tootie Bueser Director of Nursing & Midwifery in the South East GMS, talks to us about her work embedding Genomics into Nursing & Midwifery practice across the south east, from Brighton to the South of London.

In Tootie's other role as NIHR Senior Clinical Practitioner Researcher, we also learn about Tootie's work growing research into inherited cardiac conditions at King's College.

In this episode of The Road to Genome, Helen has two guests on the other side of the mic! Beth Evans and Nicola Young explain what Monogenic Diabetes is, and why it is so crucial (and tricky) to catch in pregnant people.

Beth and Nicola show us the power of the right diagnosis at the right time, not only for patients, but their children and families too, right now and in the future.

In this episode, Helen talks to Genomics England's Chief Medical Officer Ellen Thomas, discussing her career path to date, and her role in helping to shape the direction of travel for Genomics. We also hear more about the Generation Study, and where we're heading.

Episode 2 of Series 4 features a powerful talk with Donna Kirwan who's the Lead Midwife for Genomics, on NHS England's Nursing & Midwifery Genomics Team.

Donna's career has taken her to many places, on both sides of the Atlantic, through many roles. Through them all she has inspired and driven change, always with the welfare of pregnant people and children at the forefront. Donna talks to us about her experiences, the power of testing, and where we're looking to go now.

We're back for Series 4 of The Road to Genome! Kicking things off with a cracking talk to The Rapping Consultant, Clinical Geneticist Professor Julian Barwell.

Julian talks to us about his career and work in Cancer Genomics, Fragile X, and the work he has done to make genomics accessible and engaging for all.

We round off Season 3 of The Road to Genome with a powerful interview with Chris Hind, Chair of the Patient & Public Voice Forum in the East Genomic Medicine Service Alliance.

Chris talks to Helen about his personal experience on the diagnostic journey, dealing with Haemochromatosis, Prostate Cancer testing, and the effects this can have on family and life in general. Chris also highlights the incredible work that the Patient & Public Voice forums can do to change the patient pathways, and help to improve the journey for all.

In this episode, we come to you from Genomics England HQ in Canary Wharf, as Helen talks to Amanda Pichini, Clinical Director for Genomics England, and Genomic Counsellor.

In part 2 of Adam's journey, Helen talks to Adam C about his family's diagnostic odyssey that eventually saw 2 of his children diagnosed with the rare disease, CRELD1. We learn more about the support network Adam has helped to create, how its possible to find a sense of stability, and where to go from here.
