Join the Oxford Genomic Medicine Centre and Oxford Genetics Laboratories for a one-day meeting to celebrate the achievements of the 100,000 Genomes Project and explore its legacy in the form of patient benefit, potential for research, and the new NHS Genomic Medicine Service.

You will hear from local clinicians and clinical scientists, and leads from Genomics England, NHSE, and the Wessex and West Midlands Genomic Laboratory Hub. Talks will cover how the use of whole genome sequencing is improving treatment for cancer patients, providing diagnoses for families with rare disease, and generating valuable data for research.

The day will also provide a guide to the reorganisation of NHS genetics laboratories, including how the national network will support the future Genomic Medicine Service and create a world class resource for the NHS. You will hear about how Oxford, Wessex and West Midlands laboratories are working together, what the changes will mean for clinicians in our local area, and how they will impact the way patients are referred for genetic testing.

This free-to-attend event aims to bring together healthcare professionals, researchers and trainees. Contact us at Oxford.GMC@nhs.net for more information.

This meeting has been approved by the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists for 5 CPD credits.

Directions to the Richard Doll building can be found here.
