South West Genomic Laboratory Hub

Thank you @SarahWynn CEO of Unique for joining us this #RareDiseaseDay to talk about how the GMS is helping to reduce the diagnostic odyssey for so many families 🧬 vimeo.com/1056483444/e63…

For Tabitha and her family, a diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasia through the SWGMS has provided answers, access to specialist advice, and the right support. Watch her story here: #RareDiseaseDay

It’s #RareDiseaseDay! Today is all about raising awareness and generating change for the 3.5 million people living with a rare condition in the UK, their families and carers 🧬

Come & join us as a Consultant in the exciting new South West Clinical Genetics Service, supported by the phenomenal @SWGLH Exceptional opportunities to develop specialist clinics and academic interests all in a beautiful part of the world. @swynn_unique @ExeterBRC @ExeterGenomes

❤️ We are incredibly proud to be part of the NHS South West Genomic Medicine Service transforming lives through the power of #GenomicMedicine 📽️ This exciting video shares some key #Genomics highlights from 2024:

Really excited by the progress and ambition of the AI network. Alex Deng discusses how we can desilofy (fav new word and a really important one!) Datasets in the NHS and how we have already used AI to find new diagnoses. @NHSgms #nhsgenomics2024

Whoop whoop! @SWGenomics Work is happening NOW to link data appropriately and making the pathway a truly interoperable one. That includes digitising the test directory!

Compelling talk from Patient and Public Voice (PPV) panel member Steve Tyler, on how his life has been affected by blindness due to retinoblastoma. Thanks to IVF involving genetic screening Steve has been able to have children without passing on his condition. #NHSGenomics2024

"Hope, loss, fear and all that" a patient journey we could all be a recipient of, so information is key. Steve Tyler hit the nail on the head. We need to work together, keep sharing that information and not take the too hard to handle approach @SWGenomics @NHSgms #NHSgenomics2024

Today, we're at the Genomics Healthcare Summit 2024 to celebrate the latest developments in the world of genomic medicine across the NHS. Our clinical director, Professor Kate Tatton-Brown, joins today's speakers to update on upskilling the workforce. @NHSgms #NHSGenomics2024

"We should absolutely aim to lead the world.  But we must also ensure we aren’t leaving behind any of our own patients. That was a central commitment of the Accelerating Genomic Medicine strategy." @AmandaPritchard @NHSEngland tells #NHSGenomics2024 in her opening speech

Fantastic start to the @NHSgms #Genomics 🧬🧬 summit w/ @CSOSue & @AmandaPritchard! Lots of achievements in 2024 & lots to look forward to in the future 💫 @SEgenomics @genomicsedu

Baroness Merron (@DHSCgovuk Minister responsible for #genomics) meets with colleagues across the @nhsgms including chief execs, clinicians, patient reps and stakeholders at #NHSGenomics2024

Great to hear from @NHSgms @NICEComms and @MHRAgovuk about the development of a new pathway to support the introduction of genomic tests across the NHS. #NHSGenomics2024

I am so pleased that we are supporting the use of ctDNA in our region. I know our patient forum has been supportive, but hearing from Jason, whose treatment options changed as a result of this test, is truly inspiring @NHSgms @SWGenomics @SWGLH #NHSgenomics2024

Kick start of a conversation on returning additional cancer target genes, which can help access to trials. How do we do this? What do patients and clinicians think? #NHSgenomics2024 @SWGenomics

We’re proud to support the use of ctDNA testing in our region. Hearing Jason's story—where this test changed his treatment options—highlights the real-world impact of genomics. @NHSgms @SWGenomics @SWGLH #NHSGenomics2024
