GenomicsConversation Conference

Join us Monday 16th – Friday 20th March 2020 for the third annual week of action on genomics.

 

What is the Genomics Conversation?

The genomics conversation is an annual week of activity to raise awareness of genomics among health professionals.

Learn     The week features a number of free activities designed to raise awareness of genomics and its impact on patient care.
Share     Participants can spread the word on social media and in person with colleagues and friends.
Connect     Come together with peers and genomics experts in our online chats and panel events.

Due to the ongoing situation with coronavirus (COVID-19), we are unfortunately cancelling our in-hospital events. You can still join the national genomics conversation online though. We will be publishing a series of Q&As that we’ll post on our News page, with a range of health care professionals across our region to find out how genomic medicine may benefit their patients and impact the way they work as a clinician. You can also follow us and the #GenomicsConversation hashtag on Twitter.

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.
