Genomic testing in the NHS is being provided through a national testing network, consolidating and enhancing the existing laboratory provision. This will create a world class genomic testing resource for the NHS and underpin the NHS Genomic Medicine Service and deliver on our commitments as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.
The national genomic testing service is delivered through a network of seven Genomic Laboratory Hubs (GLHs), each responsible for coordinating services for a particular part of the country.
The seven GLHs are:
- Central and South Genomic Laboratory Hub led by Birmingham Women’s and Children NHS Foundation Trust
- East Genomic Laboratory Hub led by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- North West Genomic Laboratory Hub led by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
- North Thames Genomic Laboratory Hub led by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust
- South East Genomic Laboratory Hub led by Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust
- South West Genomic Laboratory Hub led by North Bristol NHS Trust
- North East and Yorkshire Genomic Laboratory Hub led by The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
