Next steps for genomic medicine in the NHS – regulation, challenges for adoption and priorities for research

November 20 2018 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

A Westminster Health Forum Keynote Seminar exploring the main issues for the NHS Genomic Medicine Service, including regulation, challenges for adoption and priorities for research.

 

Delegates will discuss the priorities for evaluating the evidence and sharing learning from the 100,000 Genomes Project – with the Project aiming to have completed sequencing by the end of the year – and assess the opportunities to advance other elements of personalised medicine by building upon the infrastructures established.

Scheduled speakers include Prof Dame Sue Hill, Sir John Chisholm and Dr Anneke Seller.

 

This event is CPD certified.

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.
