• This talk sets out the English National Health Service (NHS) approach to improving outcomes through greater personalisation of care underpinned by developments in genomics.
• It reviews how the world-leading 100,000 Genomes Project provided a proof of concept for the mainstream use of Whole Genome Sequencing to inform routine care.
• It then sets out how the work of the 100,00 Genomes Project and the long history of genomic developments in the NHS have together formed the foundation for the introduction of a national Genomic Medicine Service. This will provide comprehensive, consistent and equitable access to the full range of genomic testing for country’s entire 55 million population.
• This new system is integrated across clinical services and is adopting an end-to-end pathway approach to support improvement of outcomes through personalisation of care, particularly in key clinical priority areas. All patients are also given the opportunity to participate in research, benefiting their future care and helping others with their condition.
