Bringing genomic medicine into everyday healthcare

The North East and Yorkshire Genomic Medicine Service (NEY GMS) works with NHS and other partners to embed genomics into routine care, delivering faster and more accurate diagnoses, personalised treatment and prevention through early detection.

The NEY GMS brings together regional clinical partners, including Clinical Genetics, the Genomic Laboratory Hub (GLH) and the Genomic Medicine Service Alliance (GMSA) – all working together to ensure equity of access to genomic tests and treatments for patients in the region.

The NEY GMS is hosted by four Partner Trusts: The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We play a vital role in raising awareness and providing education about genomics to all staff groups in the NHS – in order to successfully embed genomics into mainstream care.

For Professionals

 

We also ensure the patient voice is influential at the heart of our work, through the involvement of our own Patient and Community Forum, patient groups and charities.
