Join us on 5 November, 12:00-13:30, to hear key findings from Genomics, Healthcare and You, a nationwide engagement programme commissioned by Genomics England. More than 300 people from across England shared their views on the future of genomics in adult healthcare, helping to inform the development of a new research study announced in the Government's 10 Year Health Plan, as well as Genomics England's wider strategy. The webinar will explore what people told us about the opportunities, concerns and considerations for the future of genomics in healthcare. Find out more and register: https://lnkd.in/gwrQV9d4
Genomics England
Biotechnology Research
We’re working to enable faster and deeper genomic diagnosis & research, to bring genomic healthcare to all who need it.
About us
Genomics England works with the NHS to bring forward the use of genomic healthcare and research in Britain to help people live longer, healthier lives. Genomics is a ground-breaking area of medicine that uses our unique genetic code to help diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses. Thanks to advanced technology, scientists can now compare many people’s genetic code to make new discoveries that continually improve genomic healthcare. In 2013, Genomics England and the NHS launched the 100,000 Genomes Project, demonstrating how genomics insights can help doctors across the NHS, and building a foundation for the future by assembling a unique dataset. Genomics England is now supporting the NHS to deliver genomic testing for patients as part of routine healthcare, and providing the health data and technology that researchers need to make new discoveries and create more effective, targeted medicines. We work with thousands of people – patients, doctors and scientists – to increase our collective knowledge and enable faster and deeper genomic research, to bring genomic healthcare to all who need it.

Advances in genomics, AI and next-generation therapies mean we can increasingly target the root genetic cause of disease. Genomic data can help identify eligible patients for innovative treatments and clinical trials based on their biology, helping create opportunities for earlier access to therapies that could improve, extend or save lives. By reducing barriers to access, we can help ensure more people benefit from advances in genomic medicine. Read our article in today's Guardian Rare Diseases supplement and online to learn why there is real opportunity to scale this approach for wider patient benefit: https://lnkd.in/eriSBv_X Mediaplanet UK & IE

One week left to apply for the Access Review Committee (ARC) Committee Chair role. The independent Committee oversees requests to access the data and biological samples held in the National Genomic Research Library (NGRL). As Chair, you will have the opportunity to support innovative research uses of genomic data while ensuring those uses are in accordance with the NGRL framework, are trustworthy and uphold the interests of participants. If you’re passionate about advancing genomic research while upholding high standards of data governance, we’d love to hear from you. Applications close 22 September, 23:59.

Have you received a genetic test result? NHS South East Genomic Medicine Service have developed a short survey to understand people's experiences of receiving genetic test results, to better understand how they can improve the experience. There's more information in the post below, and this is the link to the survey: https://lnkd.in/ep_6HuW4
Have you received a genetic test result? We would love to hear about your experience. How were your results shared with you? Did you feel supported? Was the information clear and easy to understand? We're working to better understand experiences of receiving genetic test results. By taking part in our short survey, you'll help us understand what works well and where we can improve the experience of receiving genetic test results for future patients and families.

The Generation Study is a free and optional research study. We want to understand if we can improve how we diagnose and treat genetic conditions by looking at the DNA of newborn babies. Many people are under-represented in research, including people from Black communities. This video highlights the importance of being part of the story, to help improve genetic testing for everyone in the future. Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/exQK4XeD
