Advancements in genomics contribute to enhanced disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A skilled nursing workforce can ensure patients access safe and equitable genomics-informed healthcare. Policy and professional practice infrastructure are required to support Canada’s nursing workforce in integrating genomics into nursing practice. A coordinated and harmonized national approach is required to accelerate genomics into nursing.
Nurses can make a significant contribution to genomics services. Policy infrastructure can guide education and leadership to assist nurses to participate in designing new roles and care pathways that address patients' identified needs in the precision oncology era.
