Brain Imaging in Diagnosing Genetic Disorders (BRIDGE II) Course II

About

The British Society for Genetic Medicine provides a forum for professionals involved in genetics and genomics as a clinical service and research.

As an umbrella organisation, our membership includes a wide spectrum of clinical, laboratory and research disciplines, not only in specialist genetic services but throughout the health professions.

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine

The Joint Committee on Genomics in Medicine is a tripartite committee of the BSGM, RCPath and RCP, with representation from other professional bodies and patient organisations. It provides a unified forum to co-ordinate activities across a wide spectrum of organisations, particularly to promote and maintain the highest standards of practice in clinical and laboratory applications of genetics in medicine and to co-ordinate advice on service issues and workforce planning.

BRIDGE II Nottingham

Following a highly successful inaugural edition in 2019, we are delighted to announce the second edition of the BRIDGE course!

A 2-day course tailored for clinical geneticists, neurologists, and radiologists, focusing on the role of neuroimaging in diagnosing genetic disorders across all age groups.

Highlights:

Parallel session on day 1 on 'basics of imaging for non-radiologists' and 'basics of genomics for non-geneticists'
Expert speakers will cover critical topics including cortical and posterior fossa malformations, white matter disorders, calcification and iron accumulation, foetal imaging, and more.
Each session will be aligned to one or more category in the National Genomic Test Directory published by NHS England
Interactive opportunities throughout, including app-based quizzes on imaging, genomic and general themes to enhance learning.

We can accommodate 100 delegates - on a first-come, first-served basis. The provisional programme will soon be available

at https://www.nuh.nhs.uk/clinical-genetics under the upcoming events tab.

Your registration fee covers attendance for the full 2-day course, lunch and tea/coffee on both days, and a course dinner on September 11, 2025, at a central Nottingham venue. CPD approval from the Royal College of Physicians has been requested.
