The NHS Genomic Medicine Service enables the NHS to harness the power of genomics and science to improve the health of our population. With genomics heavily featured in the NHS 10 Year Plan, it’s crucial that we ensure the National Genomic Test Directory – through which clinicians can order genetic tests for their patients – offers an accessible and efficient service to a busy healthcare workforce.
With this in mind, teams across the NHS have been working on the digitalisation of the test directory, and the arrival of the Digital Genomics Test Service is well on its way. This will enable clinical NHS users to:
- Access list of genomic test packages for their speciality
- Retrieve detailed information around the test packages including version and status
- Identify test within test packages
- Retrieve detailed information around the tests including versions
To ensure users are up-to-date with the coming changes and equipped to effectively utilise the new service, Central and South Genomics are hosting a webinar to provide an overview of the programme, a demo of the digital service, and an understanding of the impacts and benefits of the service.
This event is for anyone whose role interacts with the National Genomics Test Directory, whether you’re a scientist, ordering clinician or a digital leader. There’ll be ample time for questions, and you can submit these ahead of time as part of the registration process.
