An NHS project, an excellent opportunity for patients with rare conditions (including some congenital heart conditions), and certain cancers, and their families, to obtain a genetic diagnosis by genomic sequencing. It aims to sequence 100,000 genomes from NHS patients by 2018.
Overall, this project aims to improve and personalise patient treatment and care, develop a genomic medicine service for the NHS and find new scientific discoveries and medical insights.
UHL project members have produced “Eligibility Wheels” as a simple guide to help clinicians identify potential participants to join the 100,000 Genomes Project. The wheels bring together conditions that would be seen by a physician in a clinic setting. They can be displayed in clinical areas where most useful, such as on consultation room noticeboards or in toggled booklets. For assistance with collating specialty specific printouts (laminated for display or toggled) please make contact (details below). Contact will be made with the relevant specialities soon. You can download the Eligibility Wheels from the following link: https://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/taught-courses/eligibility-wheels-library/ .
Please share this information with other colleagues that see patients who may be eligible to participate in this project.
The Library is compiling a list of people who can offer colleagues help with doing statistics. We have already compiled some resource sheets, available from here. Some people have access to help (for example, through a local University, from other members of the research team, or from the sponsor or organiser of the research). But some do not. Could you help?
People in search of help would contact the Library, and the Library would forward their enquiry to people on the list.
To join this list, and receive requests for help, please fill in this form at
