SE Genomics Autumn Festival

September 27 2022 @ 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

We are keen to promote our second upcoming virtual event – SE Genomics Autumn Festival.

Speakers will provide an overview of how the latest developments in genomics are impacting cancer care and share their expertise on different cancer genomics pathways and the tests available.

Register now via Eventbrite and please share with your networks as the event is open to all health professionals, patients and members of the public.

 

View the detailed full agenda and speaker bios here.

The recording from our Spring Festival earlier this year can also be found on our website.

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.
