This section is here to support patients and families who use our services, people who may need to use our services in the future and anyone wanting to find out more about genomic testing in the NHS. We also have a useful section for clinicians.
Genomic medicine is the study of an individual's genetic makeup to identify the cause of their condition or predisposition. By better understanding genetic information, we can improve diagnosis, treatment and management and help improve patient health.
Our team collaborates with genomic laboratories, clinicians and researchers to deliver the benefits of genomic medicine to patients, families and healthcare professionals across North West London.
For Patients
Genetic testing may be available in a large number of specialties in our hospitals.
For Healthcare professionals
NHS England has worked to improve the Genomic Medicine Services with the aim of providing consistent and equitable access to genomic testing.
Meet the team
Our genomic medicine service is managed by a team of genomic practitioners and clinical genomic champions.
