BIOL72252 15 Semester 2 Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Andrew Devereau Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 This module aims to introduce trainees to the concepts required for service delivery and development within healthcare services. Trainees will develop an understanding of the processes involved in setting up and maintaining a new service and integrating this into an existing laboratory management structure.

Demonstrate the ability to identify stakeholders and capture user requirements for a service implementation.2. Describe the basis of economic evaluation of a health service technology and undertake a cost-benefit analysis.3. Critically evaluate technologies and service developments relevant to genetic and genomic testing.4. Apply an effective project management strategy for a bioinformatic development including a risk analysis.5. Demonstrate a critical awareness of the ethical and governance concerns regarding service development in the NHS.6. Critically evaluate guidelines and standards which are relevant to bioinformatics services including the importance of validation and accreditation.7. Plan and deliver training to bioinformaticians.8. Present proposals and reports for non-bioinformatics staff using appropriate language and formats.9. Describe the principles of data interoperability in the NHS and healthcare. 1. Critically analyse scientific and clinical data 2. Present scientific and clinical data appropriately 3. Formulate a critical argument 4. Evaluate scientific and clinical literature and methods 5. Apply the knowledge of clinical bioinformatics to address specific clinical problems 1. Present information clearly in the form of written reports. 2. Communicate complex ideas and arguments in a clear and concise and effective manner. 3. Work effectively as an individual and part of a team. 4. Use relevant literature and electronic resources to collect, select and organise complex scientific information 5. Design a scientifically valid strategy to address a specific research question relevant to modern clinical science practice. 6. Critically evaluate technologies and formulate appropriate analytical strategies to determine diagnosis and optimal clinical management for genomic disorders.7. Select and apply appropriate bioinformatic tools and resources from a core subset to typical diagnostic laboratory cases, contextualised to the scope and practice of a clinical genetics laboratory. 8. Compare major bioinformatics resources for clinical diagnostics, and how their results can be summarised and integrated with other lines of evidence to produce clinically valid reports. 1. Present complex ideas in simple terms in written formats. 2. Actively seek accurate and validated information from all available sources. 3. Interpret data and convert into knowledge for use in the clinical context of individual and groups of patients. 4. Work in partnership with colleagues to analyse problems and develop solutions. 5. Use logical and systematic approaches to problem-solving and decision-making. Teaching will be delivered in a blended format, with online content, e-learning and live online tutorials, and a one-week on-campus taught module. The on-campus teaching will include lectures, workshops, case studies and PBL-based practical work.
