We are one of seven regional services established by the NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS), each responsible for coordinating genomics for part of England. Through the work of the GMS, the NHS will become the first health service in the world to embed genomics into routine care. We are working to provide equitable access to genomic testing and innovation for people across North London, Hertfordshire and Mid and South Essex.
Genomic medicine is a rapidly growing and dynamic field that needs skilled professionals at every stage of its life cycle: from nurses, midwives and GPs facilitating initial patient conversations and counselling on genomics, through specialist clinical geneticists and genomic counsellors, to genomic laboratory testing and clinical diagnostics, data analytics (bioinformatics) and exploratory genomic science.
