Since becoming a registered nurse in 1993, Philandra’s career has spanned various countries and diverse adult specialties. She started working with the CAS GMSA in May 2022 and has been working in genomics since 2011, first as a research sister for cancer and rare disease genetics studies before taking on the role of Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) for the 100,000 Genomes Project. Dedicated to enhancing patient experience and outcomes with genomics, she is passionate about bridging the gap between genomics and nursing through genomic awareness and education, striving to empower healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills required for personalised and effective care in the genomics era. Outside of her professional pursuits, she finds solace in reading and rejuvenates through swimming.
