National Genetic Epilepsy Study Day

November 10 2023

The session is face to face and everyone is invited especially nurses, midwives and allied professionals.

Although many cases of epilepsy are not inherited, over 500 genes have been identified that are associated with epilepsy. Come and hear about the latest developments.

We have an amazing line up of speakers who will cover:

 

• Basic Concepts in Epilepsy Genetics

• Management of Genetic Epilepsy

• The latest research and targeted therapies

• Special populations and groups-pregnancy, learning disabilities

• Nurse-led clinics

• Case studies

 

There will be plenty of opportunities for networking and sharing best practice.

All your lunch and refreshments will be provided so if you book a place but change your mind, please let us know!

Spaces are limited so reserve your seat now

 

More details will be released soon.

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.
