Cancer WGS

We are still working on this page of the website and will launch soon. 

In the meantime, if you would like to request cancer whole genome sequencing for a phase 1 or 2 clinical indication please use the Cancer WGS Test Order Form. The eligible indications can be found in the National Genomic Test Directory. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Information for clinicians:

NHS England have implemented changes to the Test Directory affecting the clinical codes used for WGS indications. Please kindly be aware of this when making future referrals and take care to select the appropriate clinical codes to prevent any delays in testing. Please do not hesitate to contact gst-tr.southeastglh@nhs.net if you have any queries.

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.
