What role does popular culture play in healthcare?
Popular culture is a good way to get new advances in healthcare into the public’s consciousness. However, sometimes facts can be misconstrued, and expectations elevated. How important is it to separate the fact from the fiction?
The media can play a powerful role in the way we perceive new advances or treatments in healthcare and can sometimes influence our expectations or opinions about the care we receive. The information we see in newspaper headlines or included in tv shows or movie storylines (genetic engineering in Jurassic Park for example) can, at times, be inaccurate or misleading. Despite how this information is presented it does have the power to influence and can affect our views and decisions.
Genomics (the study of all our DNA) is one example that is featured prominently in media and popular culture. From the portrayal of genetic conditions in soaps to advertisements from companies offering kits that will provide with you with a wealth of health and lifestyle advice based on information from your DNA.
What does this mean for nurses?
Genomics is now part of the suite of investigations that is used in many different specialities. As a result, more healthcare professionals as well as patients, maybe encountering this technology for the first time. Many patients will have preconceived ideas about the value of genetics and genomics, and part of the role of the healthcare professional is to find out patients’ views and correct any misinformation held by patients and their families. Through this Twitterchat we want to discuss the different strategies you use to manage patient expectations and their questions. Where do you go for further information about genetics and genomics and how do you handle those conversations when a patient has a misunderstanding based on information they heard about through popular culture?
Join the chat
During this chat we would like to explore some of the common themes, myths and misconceptions perpetuated by popular culture around genetics and genomics and share strategies for dealing with them. Do you feel prepared or even comfortable to answer questions or challenge misconceptions?
Top tip
Before joining the chat, we suggest you download and listen to our ‘Genomics in popular culture’ podcast to understand some of the popular myths and facts that surround genomics and genetic testing.
Questions will include:
- How does popular culture –news stories, films, books, adverts etc. – influence patients’ expectations of healthcare?
- What kind of questions have you heard from patients following, for example, a big news event or a storyline in a soap?
- How do you manage patient expectations based on what they have seen or read through popular culture?
- From the animated DNA in Jurassic Park, genomics has featured in popular culture in various ways. What examples have you seen?
- Do stories featuring complex topics in healthcare, like genomics, motivate you to learn more?
- Where do you go to find out more about complex topics, like genomics?
- What can HEE do to support you?
What is the Genomics Education Programme?
Health Education England’s Genomics Education Programme exists to deliver and advise on learning and development opportunities that prepare current and future NHS professionals to make the best use of genomics in their practice.
Rapid advances in technology and understanding mean that genomics is now more relevant than ever before. As genomics increasingly becomes a part of mainstream NHS care, all healthcare professionals, and not just genomics specialists, need to have a good understanding of its relevance and potential to impact the diagnosis, treatment and management of people in our care.
The GEP’s objectives are:
- Prepare the workforce to deliver the new England-wide NHS Genomic Medicine Service.
- Support the completion of the landmark 100,000 Genomes Project.
- Provide the best education opportunities in genomics for the NHS workforce.
- Develop strategic collaborations to keep the UK at the forefront of genomics in healthcare.

@WeNurses I think that it can create a somewhat unrealistic idea about how accurate/fast some healthcare technologies are, ie you run a sample through a machine and *ping!* you have an answer. #WeNurses |

There are often misleading headlines which don’t provide a real or coherent explanation of what is happening but are there to shock. #wenurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1326616993940824065 |

@jo_swidenbank @WeNurses Unrealistic and maybe inaccurate also sometimes. #WeNurses |
|
@gremlin2c
11 November 2020 20:10
|
|
@jo_swidenbank @WeNurses Definitely agree with this. People get a diagnosis from an immediate test within hours in a film and everyone thinks that will happen #WeNurses |
|
@jo_swidenbank
11 November 2020 20:10
|
|
@WeNurses Not helped by the rise of direct to consumer genetic tests, which can give results without there necessarily being clinical utility of them for the patient #WeNurses |
|
@EdGenomesEdu
11 November 2020 20:10
|
|
I think with so much access to information now it can be hard to pick out the facts. Which can cloud expectations #WeNurses |
|
@jo_swidenbank
11 November 2020 20:10
|
|
@Marie_Batey @WeNurses Yes, I would agree with that! #WeNurses |

@WeNurses It can reinforce unrealistic expectations ... the sitting up drinking tea 2 minutes after being defibrillated always gets me. But, it can also be a fabulous tool in demystifying health, investigations, the hospital setting & HCP roles #WeNurses . |

@AgencyNurse Very good question.. News reports the crazy stuff and not the 99% of the good stuff we do. Patients only think doctors, midwives and nurses run the NHS TV shows only show paramedics and not the other professions working Makes it a challenge to work #WeNurses |

@SusanMcgavock yes i think so - think it can also make things like genetics seem quite scary, was thinking of all the films that have some genetics in : Attack of the clones Jurrasic Park The Matrix All quite scary #WeNurses |

The trick is to harness the initial power (widespread raising awareness of an issue) thru popular culture & use it to positively reframe messages in a more realistic coherent way #WeNurses |

@Winn_on_Health @WeNurses Oh yes, the actual realistic process wouldn’t make good TV/film! Writers only get a certain amount of time to tell a story. But this does trickle in to public perception too. #WeNurses |

@jo_swidenbank @WeNurses @GenomicsWales It’s a brilliant idea and would be good if we were able to emulate that in all nations of the UK #WeNurses |

Keep online courses coming & advertise them more, add basic knowledge to undergraduate programmes, demystify the science (where possible) & keep banging the genomics drum! Tie in with #DecadeOfHealth (if not already) #WeNurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1326631206444814345 |

@gremlin2c Podcasts, of course! I have many book marked .... too many. But I'll look GeneticsUnzipped up ... It's a great title for starters. #WeNurses |
