GMSA transformation projects
The South East GMSA is delivering a programme of national and regional transformation projects which are transforming patient care through genomics. These projects raise awareness of genomics and support healthcare professionals to ‘think genomics‘, enabling timely and equitable access to genomic testing and genomically informed treatments across our geographic region.
National transformation projects
ctDNA: supporting early diagnosis of cancer for patients who cannot have a tumour biopsy or do not yet have a confirmed diagnosis
DPYD: standardising the equitable implementation of DPYD gene testing and optimising clinical effectiveness for patients with cancer
Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH): increasing identification of FH in the community
Lynch syndrome: delivering a comprehensive service for the detection of Lynch syndrome
Monogenic Diabetes: improving the identification and treatment of monogenic diabetes
Nursing & Midwifery: delivering a systematic approach to integrating genomics into nursing and midwifery practice
Pathology: supporting rapid cancer genomic diagnostics through pathway improvement
Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD): supporting the BHF pilot through the delivery of a dedicated Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions (ICC) liaison for the coronial service for all patients with SCD
Regional transformation projects
Family History Questionnaire Service (FHQS): a digital tool to inform referrals to improve patient care in FH and cancer
Neurology: addressing unmet genetic diagnostic needs in 16-25 year olds with complex epilepsy and neuromuscular disease
QGenome – the Genomics Navigator: developing an app-based clinical decision aid tool to guide mainstream specialities in the use of genomics
Renal: integrating genomics into renal care pathways through raising awareness and upskilling healthcare professionals
