OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the impact of a pharmacogenomics (PGx) workshop on UK trainee pharmacists' knowledge, confidence, and application of PGx to simulated cases. The study also examined the experiences and support needs of workshop facilitators. METHODS: A mixed-methods design was employed, including surveys of workshop participants and focus groups (FGs) with workshop facilitators. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests, while qualitative data from FGs were thematically analyzed. KEY FINDINGS: A total of 229 trainee pharmacists attended one of five workshops. Of these, 199 completed the pre-workshop survey, and 157 completed the post-workshop survey. Pre-, post-workshop surveys indicated a significant increase in self-reported knowledge of PGx (P < .01) and an increase in the confidence to apply this knowledge in clinical practice, although not statistically significant (P = .06). Workshop facilitators identified challenges related to participant engagement, especially in online settings, and expressed a need for more comprehensive preparatory materials and technical support. Despite these challenges, the workshops were well-received, with participants appreciating the interactive format and case studies which incorporated pharmacogenomic results. CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that a PGx workshop effectively enhanced trainees' knowledge but revealed ongoing gaps in their ability to apply this knowledge clinically. Facilitator feedback highlights the need for improved training and resources to support effective delivery, particularly in online environments. Iterative sessions and additional supportive materials are recommended to consolidate learning and application of PGx in clinical practice.
