Technology in the NHS – innovation, uptake and regulation

November 12 2020 @ 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM

Join the Westminster Health Forum’s online conference on Technology in the NHS – innovation, uptake and regulation.

 

Areas for discussion include:

  • the way forward for technology implementation in the context of ambitions in the NHS Long Term Plan
  • what has been learned from the role of healthcare technologies in the response to COVID-19 – including in:
    • the development of contact tracing, testing and tracking
    • supporting research to produce a vaccine
    • innovation and organisational transformation by the sector for the rapid development and production of new clinical equipment
  • priorities for regulation and the next steps for technology adoption

Keynote speakers include Dr Amanda Begley (Co-Founder and National Director, NHS Innovation Accelerator and Director of Innovation and Implementation at UCLPartners) and Professor Ben Bridgewater (Chief Executive, Health Innovation Manchester).

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.
