South East GLH: Name change announcement

Leave a Comment / News / By

Dear Colleagues,

Re: Name change announcement

We would like to announce a change to our name from London South Genomic Laboratory Hub to South East Genomic Laboratory Hub, effective 15th December 2020.

The national genomic testing service is delivered through a network of seven Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs), each responsible for co-ordinating services for a particular part of the country. The South East Genomic Laboratory Hub encompasses South London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. After careful consideration, we believe the South East Genomic Laboratory Hub more accurately reflects the region we cover and follows the national re-alignment of the GLH names.

This name change also aligns with the emerging Genomic Medicine Service Alliances (GMSA) which will oversee the systematic embedding of genomic medicine within the region. Once these alliances are established, we will provide more detailed correspondence around this new infrastructure.

Our digital presence is transitioning to our new name in the next few weeks, resulting in a different way for you to access our service. Please find our new details below:

Please note that our rebranding and name change will not impact the service we currently deliver. Our physical address remains unchanged.

We will continue to keep you updated of any further developments.

Yours sincerely,

South East Genomic Laboratory Hub

With any Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) test ordered, a Record of Discussion (RoD) form will also need to be submitted. This document is to record the patient’s consent for genomic testing and their choice on taking part in research. Guidance on the patient choice conversation can be found here. 
 
This RoD form will be available for clinicians to download from this webpage. Once completed with the patient, it can be send to the lab with the corresponding test order form and sample.
Tests available to order will be listed in the National Genomic Test Directory. A test order form will soon be made available for clinicians on this webpage to download and complete. This form will include the address of the laboratory that the appropriate sample and completed form needs to be sent to.
 
Until the new Genomic Laboratory Service goes live, please continue to follow existing test order processes.
 
Later this year, the online test ordering tool for Whole Genome Sequencing will be integrated into the National Genomics Informatics System (NGIS) and clinicians will be able to search or filter to find a clinical indication, confirm eligibility criteria and start the test request process for their patient.
