The 100000 Genomes Project
UHL is part of the East of England GMC taking part in the Genomics England project.

This is an excellent opportunity for patients with rare conditions and certain cancers, and their families, to obtain a genetic diagnosis by genomic sequencing.  The aim is 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 colleagues including Professor Julian Barwell, Dr Corrina Powell and Helen Harrison have produced “Eligibility Wheels” as a simple guide to help clinicians identify potential participants to join the 100,000 Genomes Project, you can view and download the Eligibility Wheels

Please share this information with other colleagues that see patients who may be eligible to participate in this project
