We are part of a National Genomics Network.
The NHS Genomic Medicine Service is a network of 7 regional Genomic Medicine Services, each responsible for coordinating and delivering genomic testing for a particular part of the country.
Together we are delivering the national Genomics Strategy (2022-2027) which you can read here (opens in a new tab).
This strategy sets out four priority areas:
- Embedding genomics across the NHS, through a world leading innovative service model from primary and community care through to specialist and tertiary care
- Delivering equitable genomic testing for improved outcomes in cancer, rare, inherited and common diseases and in enabling precision medicine and reducing adverse drug reactions
- Enabling genomics to be at the forefront of the data and digital revolution, ensuring genomic data can be interpreted and informed by other diagnostic and clinical data
- Evolving the service through cutting-edge science, research and innovation to ensure that patients can benefit from rapid implementation of advances
